He also announced that the government has brought back institutions into farming, with Bamboi Technical School being one of the beneficiaries.
The Director encouraged faith-based institutions to venture into farming, noting that they will be considered for awards in the future.
The Director also highlighted the government’s flagship program, “Feed Ghana,” and encouraged farmers to register and benefit from the initiative.
