Ghana makes 300,000 metric tons of palm oil, but people need 450,000 tons, President Mahama said Saturday. The country faces a 150,000-ton shortage that requires better planning and growing methods. Global palm oil markets should reach $65 billion within three years. The president shared these facts during his Feed Ghana Programme launch in Techiman.

The government plans to create special zones for farming and food processing throughout Ghana. Officials want to offer rewards for everyone working with palm oil from farm to export. Their Tree Crop Development Authority will focus on six main plants: oil palm, cashew, mango, coconut, shea, and rubber. Palm oil remains especially important among these crops.

President Mahama wants to create jobs through modern farming methods that keep food prices down. His team aims to ensure Ghana has enough food for everyone. Going forward, all farm projects will happen under the Feed Ghana Programme framework.
