I’m just making a contribution to Mr. Kumah’s question ,I think people in the food sector: like caterers and students in catering schools need to come out , Be creative with our local food production to help the farmers make good returns out of their plantations,yes the government should help but we individuals should always think of what we can do to help our country grow by beign creative with our local produce, new recipes with cassava will help increase the demand of cassava so that farmers can make good returns with all kinds of produce.Thank you.

In reply to Kumah Robert. I share your opinion, Robert. The country still faces the challenge of high post-harvest loss. Farmers struggle to sell their food produce. These problems must be addressed to get more youth to take up agriculture. A point for the youth is; let us connect with markets before we start the farming season and also build networks that will give us more opportunities in agriculture as we have on the MyFarm Community platform.

Farmers in other parts of the world are the richers but this turn to be opposite in Africa and for that matter Ghana .Currently government of Ghana is boasting of policy (planting for food and jobs) that led to production of food in abundance. Now my question is what is the government doing to the ordinary farmer who toilled in production of the food. Example in my home town Badu in the tain district cassava is in abundance in such a way that five people can not eat 1 Ghana cedi cassava,comparing the price to the cost I don’t think any farmer will make any profit with this example how do you expect the youth to get into agriculture.
