Ghana to Provide 'Farmer Service Centers' for Equipment, Technical Services
President John Dramani Mahama last month said the government, through the Savannah Accelerated Development Authority, would establish Farmer Service Centres in the Northern, Upper East, Upper West and parts of Brong Ahafo and Volta regions. Under the centres, he said, farmers would be offered quality seeds, machinery, improved farming practices, technical services and document the activities of all farmers at each catchment area. President Mahama said this at Saboba when he addressed supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as part of his four-day campaign tour of the Northern Region. The President, who had addressed similar rallies over the past three days in other districts, would also campaign at Wapuli, Chereponi, Ziong, Gushegu and Tampion on his fourth day of the regional tour.
