Former President John Dramani Mahama is scheduled to officially cut the sod for the construction of a Farmer Service Centre as part of initiatives under the government’s 24-Hour Economy project. The development is aimed at boosting agricultural productivity, supporting farmers, and enhancing the country’s food security.
The Farmer Service Centre will provide farmers with access to modern farming tools, equipment, storage facilities, and technical support. It is designed to serve as a hub for agricultural innovation, training, and market linkages, ensuring that farmers can efficiently grow, process, and sell their produce.
Speaking ahead of the sod-cutting ceremony, Mahama highlighted the importance of integrating agriculture into broader economic development strategies. “This centre will empower our farmers, improve livelihoods, and contribute to the creation of jobs while supporting the 24-Hour Economy agenda,” he said.
The project also aligns with efforts to modernize Ghana’s agricultural sector, attract investment, and promote sustainable practices. Stakeholders expect that the centre will enhance productivity, reduce post-harvest losses, and strengthen value chains, benefiting both local communities and the national economy.
The ceremony marks a significant step in operationalizing the 24-Hour Economy project, which seeks to stimulate continuous economic activity across key sectors, including agriculture, manufacturing, and services.
