The occasion of Farmers’ Day presents an opportunity to remind ourselves of the need to stand in solidarity with our hardworking farmers and fisher folks whose sacrifices, perseverance, and tireless efforts ensure our sustenance. The Asunafo South District cannot take for granted the constant supply.
of our food and nutritional needs by our farmers despite the numerous challenges they face.
The issues of land ownership, limited access to market and financial services, effects of climate change, post-harvest losses, high cost of input, and low return on investment among others should make us appreciate our farmers even more. Through their dedication in the face of these adversities, agriculture has remained the backbone and driving force behind the district’s food security, industrialization process, creation of job opportunities, economic growth, and foreign exchange earnings from diverse sources among others.
