The Aowin Municipal Assembly, in collaboration with AgriTerra, a Netherlands-based NGO, has launched an innovative rice farmer training program in the Nyankomam Rice Valley.
This initiative, promised by Hon. Samuel Adu-Gyamfi the Municipal Chief Executive during the recent General Assembly, aims to enhance rice production, improve livelihoods, and boost the local economy.” The training program is a significant investment in our farmers’ future,” said Hon. Samuel Adu-Gyamfi. “By equipping them with modern techniques and sustainable practices, we are confident that rice production will increase, leading to improved food security and economic growth.” The comprehensive training, scheduled to conclude by December 2024, will equip 1,000 rice farmers with vital skills in areas such as:
- Crop rotation and soil conservation
- Irrigation management
- Integrated pest management
- Market access and entrepreneurship
On the threshold of its first harvest, the Nyankomam Rice Valley is poised to capitalize on this partnership, unlocking a brighter future for rice production.
