Ghana to mark National Farmers’ Day November 8

The Agriculture Ministry has announced that the 40th edition of Ghana’s National Farmers’ Day will take place on Friday, November 8, 2024.

In a press release signed by Acting Chief Director Paul Siameh, it was revealed that the main celebration will occur at the Alisa Hotel in North Ridge, Greater Accra, starting at 4:00 p.m.

This year, the Ministry will not hold regional celebrations. Instead, each region can nominate winners for ten award categories, who will then travel to Accra to be recognized at the national Awards Night Ceremony.

During the ceremony, Regional Ministers will present awards to honorees from their regions.

The Ministry has instructed that all costs for the regional award winners, including travel, accommodation, and meals, be covered by their respective Regional Coordinating Councils. Additionally, Regional Ministers and Regional Directors of Agriculture are expected to attend, with their expenses also managed by their councils.

The Ministry highlighted the significance of the event, emphasizing the role of regional representatives in celebrating the crucial contributions of Ghanaian farmers to national development.
