Former President Jerry John Rawlings has endorsed the Ghana rice brand as stakeholders in the sector called on him to support the campaign to consume rice produced in Ghana.<\/p>\n

A delegation of key players within the Ghana Rice Interprofessional Body (GRIB) visited Mr. Rawlings at his office on Friday, December 20, 2019, in Accra.<\/p>\n

The visit aimed at seeking his support for the promotion and marketing of Ghana rice.<\/p>\n

The delegation briefed Mr. Rawlings about the prospects, challenges of Ghana rice millers, farmers and marketers.<\/p>\n

Rice brands from Keta in the Volta Region were presented to Mr. Rawlings.<\/p>\n

Nana Adjei Ayeh II, President of the Ghana Rice Interprofessional Body told Mr. Rawlings \u201cwe know you are a very good advocate of made in Ghana products.\u201d<\/p>\n

He informed the former military ruler that there were over 20 rice brands in Ghana now.<\/p>\n

In response, Mr. Rawlings lauded the works of the Ghana Rice Interprofessional Body and the rice consortium in promoting the consumption of Ghana rice.<\/p>\n

He, however, encouraged them to take advantage of the Year of Return initiative to introduce their rice brands to the international community.<\/p>\n

He also urged them not to be carried away by the quality of foreign rice brands but rather remain resolute in their campaign.<\/p>\n
