The Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA) has released 25,000 bags of fertiliser for immediate distribution to 413 schools participating in the Feed Ghana Programme.

According to a statement issued by the Ministry’s Public Relations Office, the intervention forms part of efforts to support ongoing Minor Season crop production and ensure sustained agricultural productivity across the country.

The fertiliser support is expected to improve crop yields and strengthen the contribution of school farms – particularly those operated by Primary, Junior High and Senior High Schools, to national food and nutrition security.

The Deputy Feed Ghana Coordinator, in charge of Institutional Farming, has been tasked to oversee the prompt distribution of fertiliser to beneficiary schools, to facilitate timely application and maximize impact.

MoFA reaffirmed its commitment to providing essential agricultural inputs and technical assistance under the Feed Ghana Programme, which remains a key component of the government’s Agriculture for Economic Transformation Agenda (AETA).
