\n

The government will on Novem\u00adber 14 launch in Accra the Ghana Tree Crop Diversification Project (TCDP) to reshape the country\u2019s agricultur\u00adal sector and foster sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n

The $ 227.5 million project being fund\u00aded in partnership with the World Bank is expected to benefit over 52,775 farmers, with a specific focus on empowering women and youth within the agricul\u00adtural sector.<\/p>\n

The project is expected to generate approximately 20,000 jobs aimed at enhancing the livelihoods of local communities.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

A statement issued in Accra from the Ministry of Food and Agricul\u00adture (MoFA) copied The Ghanaian Times<\/em>, acknowledged the tree crop sec\u00adtor\u2019s vast potential for driving economic progress, adding that the government through the projects aims to confront key challenges that compromise pro\u00adductivity and sustainability in the production of cocoa, ca\u00adshew, coconut, and rubber.<\/p>\n

Similarly, it would also address critical issues such as child labour and gender inequality within the industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe TCDP pro\u00adposes a two-pronged approach focusing on both cocoa and other strategic tree crops to en\u00adhance productivity, improve market access, and bolster the competitiveness of the private sector,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n

The four primary components of the project are towards Institutional Strengthen\u00ading and Value Chain Governance, Enhanc\u00ading Tree Crop Productivity and Climate Resilience, Support for Post-Harvest Management, Value Addition, and Market Access, Project Coordination, Manage\u00adment, Monitoring, and Evaluation.<\/p>\n

The project is also meant to achieve significant outcomes, such as increased yields and value addition for target tree crops, improved climate adaptation strategies, and substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n

The TCDP will be rolled out in 11 districts across six regions of Ghana, care\u00adfully chosen for their potential to maximise impact.<\/p>\n

The targeted areas include cocoa in the Western North\u2019s Essam and Adabokrom, and Asamankese in the Eastern Region; cashew in Bole and Sawla-Tuna-Kalba in the Savana Region, Wenchi and Tain in the Bono Region, and Techiman Municipal and Techiman North in the Bono East Region with coconut in the Upper West Akim and Suhum in the Eastern Region, and rubber in Upper West.<\/p>\n
