The Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA) has presented 50 double-cabin pickup vehicles to support agricultural operations and extension activities in the six new regions and their districts.
The vehicles, worth over GH¢10 million, are to help the beneficiary regions and districts to deliver effective and timely agricultural services to farmers.
The Canadian Government has donated 50 double cabin pick-ups to the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA) for purposes of strengthening agricultural extension service delivery in the country.
The vehicles are valued at GHC10.6 million and were procured with funds provided by Canada for the Modernizing Agriculture in Ghana (MAG) Programme. Canada is supporting the programme with 135 million Canadian Dollars over a six-year period.
Since its inception about four years ago, the MAG Programme has procured 265 vehicles and over 3000 motorcycles for the agriculture sector and five buses for the agricultural colleges in Ghana to facilitate training to deliver modernized agricultural extension services. With the additional 50 vehicles, the Programme has supported all the regions and districts in the country with vehicles and motor bikes to improve the productivity of farmers and create market linkages for their produce.
