The government is ramping up efforts to transform Ghana’s agricultural sector through the Economic Enclave Programme, a key initiative under the Ghana CARES framework.
In the Greater Accra Region, the project is taking shape at Kasunya/Dedukope in the Shai Osudoku District, where thousands of acres of rice farms have already been cultivated, with harvests currently underway.
This ambitious programme is supported by state-of-the-art facilities designed to modernize agricultural practices. These include hostels, a training centre, irrigation systems, warehouses, modern farming equipment, and an equipment service centre.
The initiative aims to equip farmers with the tools and knowledge necessary for efficient and sustainable farming, boosting productivity and ensuring food security.
Similar agricultural enclaves have also been established in the Oti, Ashanti, and Northern Regions as part of the government’s broader strategy to revitalize the sector and promote nationwide agricultural development.
