Today is National Farmers’ Day. The theme for this year’s celebration is ‘Delivering smart solutions for sustainable food security and resilience’.
The 39th edition will be held at the University of Mines and Technology (UMaT), Tarkwa in the Western Region. It is a day set aside to celebrate Ghana’s hardworking farmers and fishermen.
For the first time, this year’s occasion will be climaxed with a plush dinner for the celebrants and awardees with President Nana Akufo-Addo, as the guest of honour.
Mode of celebration for 2023
National Farmers’ Day, at the national level in many years, was celebrated in a day.
This was, however, revised to a five-Day Agricultural Fair and a Grand Durbar. The essence was to allow farmers to network with industry players and learn and adopt new technologies, machinery and research innovations in agriculture.
The fair also offered a business platform for various stakeholders to link up and form partnerships that will ensure the overall benefit of their farm enterprises.
