Eighty percent of the National Peasant Farmers Association’s members, according to the organization, were excluded from the second phase of Planting for Food and Jobs (FPJ).
Farm input and other logistics have not yet reached members, according to the Association.
Bryan Acheampong, the Agriculture Minister, was asked to assist the Association by Wepia Awal Addo, the National President of the Association.
“As of June, we observed that 80% of the farmers have not been registered and their farms have not been mapped, which is a source of worry to us, because the rainy season has started. If you go to many places, a lot of people have started planting, and they need the inputs to be able to grow food.
“So, this is a source of worry to us as an association because our members are calling on us every day for the farm inputs,” the National President of the Peasant Farmers Association said.
