A traditional leader in Ghana gave props to the government's Big Push road program while agreeing to run the country's annual farmer awards thing happening in Ho. Togbe Afede XIV said better roads would help rural growers get their crops to market faster and cut down on wasted produce.
The guy pointed out that Ghana has way more people farming than other places, but still can't feed itself without imports, which makes zero sense when countries with tiny farming populations manage just fine. He wants more cash thrown at irrigation systems, storage spots, and tech upgrades to actually fix the agriculture sector instead of just talking about it.
The farmers' day event is bringing together everyone from growers to policy nerds to celebrate agricultural workers across the country.
