PHILLIP ABAYORI, President of the National Farmers and Fishermen Award Winners Association of Ghana (NFFAAG), has lauded government’s efforts of supporting FAGRO to bring together varieties of agricultural technologies and experts with modern technological agricultural equipments together under one umbrella to showcase Ghana’s agric industry.
Abayori made this remark in Accra Tuesday during the launch of the second agric show.

“The fair has come at a time that government has placed an emphasis on agricultural modernization and transformation through appropriate technology.”
The step he said is in the right direction to help Ghanaian farmers move away from using outmoded methods and practices that make them uncompetitive globally.
He said: “post harvest losses continue to increase due to the inability by agro producers to acquire equity and finance in the highly technological-driven economies of the world and that is a great source of worry.”
He therefore tasked farmer to take advantage of the show to improve their lot.
