Dr. Godfred Seidu Jasaw, the Chairman of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and Cocoa Affairs saluted all Famers in Ghana as Ghana marks 41st Farmers Day in Ho.
On this National Farmers’ Day, Dr. Jasaw salutes the resilient farmers and fishers of Ghana, whose dedication sustains our food security and strengthens national sovereignty.
“As a farmer myself, I totally appreciate the challenges and sacrifices that come to from tilling the soil through harvesting to post-harvest stewardship”, he said.
As Chairman of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Food, Agriculture and Cocoa Affairs, Board Chairman of the Ghana Export Promotion Authority, and a seasoned farmer, he promised to remain in full alignment with President John Dramani Mahama’s transformative agriculture for economic transformation agenda, translated in the Ministry of Food and Agriculture’s flagship initiatives, including modern Farmers’ Service Centres, Irrigation for wealth and the innovative “Nkoko Kitinkin” programme amongst others. These measures would elevate farmers welfare, empower rural communities, boosts cocoa and food-crop productivity, and expands Ghana’s share of international trade.
To industrious farmers in the his constituency, Wa East District and across our Republic, ‘I stand in full solidarity with you. Today and every day, I celebrate your extraordinary contribution to feeding our nation and replenishing the national food basket with dedication and patriotism”.
According to him “the future of Ghana’s food security and export-led prosperity rests squarely on our shoulders”.

Happy National Farmers’ Day!”, he added
