In order to promote the impending 38th National Farmers Day, Kingdom Exim Ghana Limited has donated GH25,000 to the Ministry of Food and Agriculture.
The donation will help the Ministry recognize the crop farmer who will come out on top in this year’s competition.
On behalf of the business, the donation was made by Mr. Samuel Asiamah, General Executive Manager of Operations and Finance.
He acknowledged that Kingdom Exim Ghana Limited has been the primary sponsor of the Tree Crop Award for a while in an interview with B&FT.
Mr. Asiamah, however, stated that his company’s main motivation has been the desire to support the ministry and to support farmers and also because that is where the company sources its business from.
“We are into commodities and we deal directly with farmers, so we see it as our responsibility anytime to partner with the Ministry in supporting anytime there is Farmer’s Day,” she explained.
“As a legally registered company in Ghana, we see it as part of our social responsibility to partner with the government in its activities,” he added.
He also indicated that, this year, Kingdom Exim Ghana Limited, aside from the GH¢25,000 donation at the national level, is also going to support with cash and farming products at the regional and district levels.
This is an initiative of the founders of Kingdom Exim Ghana Limited, Mr. James Rajamani and Mr. Emmanuel Rajamani, who see social responsibility as a core value of the company.
Receiving the donation on behalf of the ministry, Yaw Frimpong Addo, the deputy minister for Food and Agriculture, thanked and acknowledged their constant support every year.
He used the opportunity to invite other corporate bodies to come and support the event.
“It is not too late, between now and Friday, we will be in Koforidua. Our doors are open to other corporations who would also like to support,” he said.
