Written By Alex Blege - In 2017, President Akufo-Addo together with the Minister for Agriculture, Dr. Afriyie Akoto launched the Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJs) so as to create the opportunity to boost food production for consumption and export. This initiative involves the provision of support services in the form of seeds and fertilizer to farmers. In spite of the challenges that bedeviled the farming season that year, it was reported that there was bumper harvest and the excess were exported to neighboring countries.
