The Rice Bazaar was in Birim Central Municipal
Birim Central Municipal Department of Agriculture under the Modernising Agriculture in Ghana (MAG) programme has organised local rice food bazaar in Akim Oda to demystify the myth surrounding the consumption of local food.
The MAG programme, which commenced in 2017, aims at ensuring a more modern, equitable and sustainable agricultural sector that contributes to food and nutritional security.
The Rice Bazaar, fruits and Vegetable Fair was on the theme; “Promoting the consumption of locally produced agricultural commodities.”
Mr Isaac Mann the Birim Central Municipal Director for Agriculture Department explained how the economic activity of the country could be stagnated and regressed if “we do not encourage high market demand on local agricultural commodities.”
