Ghacem Limited has handed over 1000 bags of cement worth Gh¢30,000 to
the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MOFA) as its support for the
30th edition of the National Farmers Day celebration
Ghacem Officials from the Strategy and Corporate Affairs Department
led by the Director, Dr. George Dawson-Ahmoah, presented the donation
which was received on behalf of the Ministry and the National Farmers
Day Organizing Committee by the Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture
Development, Ms. Sherry Ayittey
Also present at the ceremony were the Director of Finance and
Administration at MOFA, Mr. Benjamin Kofi Gyasi and the Director of
Crop Services, Mr. Emmanuel Krobea Asante
Handing over the cement bags, Dr. George Dawson-Ahmoah touted that
Ghacem takes pride in supporting the Farmers Day celebration annually
since it believes such effort has the impetus to propel productivity
in the Agricultural sector for economic development
He observed the theme for this year: 'Eat what you grow' was
appropriate and timely stressing that all hands should be on deck to
reduce the over reliance on food importation.
"Time is due for Ghanaians to cultivate the habit of patronizing made
in Ghana goods and products to build a strong economy. As the nation
builder we will do our part by assisting in the construction of farm
houses and post-harvest storage facilities for farmers to reduce
post-harvest losses through this annual benevolence, he said
Ms. Sherry Ayittey on behalf of the MOFA, thanked Ghacem and other
individuals and Corporate Organizations who have already donated for
the gesture and called for more support to make this year's
celebration a success
The National Farmers Day celebration is marked annually on the first
Friday of December to honour gallant farmers and Fishermen in the
country
This year's event would be marked on December 5 at Sefwi Wiawso in the
Western Region.
