The Ghana Rice Millers Association has announced moves to get special identification stickers to differentiate Ghanaian local rice from imported rice on the market.<\/p>\n

According to the Convener of the Association, Yaw Adu Poku, the identification sticker is also to check the influx of unwholesome Ghana rice on the market and to boost local rice consumption.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis stamp will immediately differentiate between the rice produced internally and those that come in through the main ports,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview on Accra-based radio, Citi FM, Mr Adu Poku said the initiative was in collaboration with the Food and Beverages Association of Ghana (FABAG) as well as the Ghana Standards Authority.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have agreed, in principle, through our umbrella organization, Ghana Rice Inter-Professional Bodies together with Food and Beverage Association of Ghana to officially write to the GSA that a stamp or some identification be given,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, government as part of plans to boost local rice consumption, has announced it will ban rice importation by 2022.<\/p>\n

Government institutions have also been directed to, by January 2020, begin using local rice for all public programmes.<\/p>\n

The president gave the directive at a recent media encounter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
