The Dormaa West District Chief Executive (DCE), Mr. Francis Kwadwo Oppong, has paid a working visit to rice farmers in the Kojokumikrom Electoral Area.
Dormaa West is one of the districts in the Bono Region that have benefited from the government’s One District One Factory (1D1F) policy with a rice processing factory through the former Member of Parliament, Ali Maiga Halidu.
The DCE made the visit in his quest to ensure that the purpose for which the factory was set up was achieved.
At the Kojokumikrom Pentecost Church, where 67 rice farmers were gathered, Mr. Kwadwo Oppong commended them for their efforts to grow more rice to feed the factory.
The farmers put their grievances before the DCE, and he assured them that his outfit would address them accordingly. Cutlasses were shared among the farmers.
He promised them that his outfit would donate tarpaulins and weedicides on his next visit to aid them in their farming activities.
The DCE proceeded to visit various farms for inspections and commendations, and was accompanied by some assembly staff and the District Agric Officer, Mr. Paul Avah.
