Ghana – The Agricultural Value Chain Mentorship Project is addressing low agriculture productivity and food insecurity in sixteen districts in Ghana’s Northern Region. The three-year project will target 34,000 smallholder farmers and 680 farmer-based organizations.
According to Dr. Kofi Debrah, IFDC country representative, IFDC’s role is to increase rice and soybean farmers’ access to output markets by building the entrepreneurial and technical capacity of small and medium enterprises.
