Over 60% of Ghanaians are farmers, whether you are in the Northern, Southern or Eastern part of Ghana. Ghana\u2019s growth largely depends on farmers, and they have to be financially stable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I want to support farmers with the necessary logistics including technology, irrigation, and finances to help boost their agricultural businesses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will continue the good works we have been doing in the cocoa sector. The DRIP project is ongoing in the various districts where roads are being constructed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will also introduce the District Agriculture Mechanization Center where I will distribute farming implements in the districts including tractors, hoes, harvesters, fertilisers, chemicals and planters for farmers in every district.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#GhanaPolls2024<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#CitiVerify<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#ElectionBureau<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2013<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU<\/strong>: <strong>https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spam, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has unveiled his plans to support agricultural constituencies, including Asunafo South, with initiatives aimed at modernizing farming practices.
