Feed Ghana Programme: Bono East Minister inspects ongoing Farmer Service Centre at Kintampo
The government’s ambitious Feed Ghana Programme is gathering momentum in the Bono East Region, with the Bono East Regional Minister, Francis Owusu Antwi, leading a high-powered delegation to inspect the ongoing construction of a Farmer Service Centre (FSC) in Kintampo.
The Bono East Regional Minister, Francis Owusu Antwi, led a delegation to inspect a Farmer Service Centre under construction in Kintampo, part of Ghana's ambitious Feed Ghana Programme. The Kintampo facility is one of 11 pilot projects among 50 planned nationwide. Its purpose is to lower production costs and improve farmers' access to agricultural mechanization.
When completed, the centre will offer a range of farming equipment, soil testing laboratories, maintenance units, crop storage, and expertise from commodity extension officers. Over 1,800 pieces of farming equipment, imported from Belarus, will stock the service centres. Farmers will have direct access to inputs on credit and improved seeds, with purchase of produce and services occurring post-harvest.
Bono East Regional Minister Francis Owusu Antwi expressed excitement about the progress, noting the facility's potential to transform the agricultural landscape for farmers in Kintampo North and beyond.
