The free distribution of the seedlings was in line with the government Planting for Export and Rural Development (PERD) initiative launched in 2019 which is aimed at creating a sustainable raw material base for industries. It is also to propel economic growth and provide household income for rural farmers.
The District MOFA Director Richard Nyamkye said in all, 150 farmers are expected to benefit from the Coconut seedlings at a cost of GH¢20, 000, funded through the Assembly s share of the Common Fund.
