Christ Apostolic Church receives 1,500 bags of fertiliser under Feed Ghana Programme

The Christ Apostolic Church International (CACI) has received a substantial donation of 1,500 bags of fertilizer, valued at over GH¢700,000, as part of the Feed Ghana Programme. This initiative, launched by President John Dramani Mahama in April 2025, aims to boost agricultural production and institutional farming in Ghana over the next four years.

The ministry, tasked with implementing the programme, is encouraging faith-based organizations, including CACI, to engage in crop production to contribute to the nation's food security. Gordon Asubongteng, Deputy Feed Ghana Coordinator, explained that the government has increased investments in the programme to attract more people, particularly the youth, into agriculture.

These investments include mechanization efforts and the establishment of Farmer Service Centres to support agricultural activities. Asubongteng emphasized that the fertilizer donation reflects the government's commitment to supporting faith-based organizations like CACI in promoting agriculture. The ministry is also promoting farmer cooperatives to reduce smuggling and facilitate the exchange of knowledge and technology among farmers.

CACI Chairman, Apostle Samuel Amponsah-Frimpong, expressed gratitude for the government's support, noting that it aligns with the church's agricultural development program aimed at empowering its members. He assured the public that the fertilizer will be distributed transparently to farmers across the regions, with the goal of improving agricultural productivity.
