Speaking during an inspection tour of the Asunafo North Farmers Services Centre, the President emphasized that the full operationalization of all 50 centres across the nation would herald a revolution in agricultural practices. At each centre, mechanized agricultural equipment will be stationed to provide essential services to farmers. The government intends to establish these 50 centres nationwide, commencing with the opening of the first facility in Takoratwene, Afram Plains in the Eastern Region. Eric Opoku, the Minister of Food and Agriculture, revealed that construction for 15 of the 50 centres is underway, with operationalization expected by the end of the first quarter of 2027.",
