President John Mahama has reaffirmed his government's commitment to making agriculture, particularly horticulture, a core driver of Ghana's economic transformation. Speaking at the Ghana Horticulture Expo 2025, the President called for urgent attention to the sector and announced a series of concrete policy actions to support farmers and reduce import dependence.
"Agriculture, especially horticulture, is not an afterthought," President Mahama said. "It is central to our vision of national economic transformation and reconstruction."
He drew attention to the efforts of ordinary farmers across the country and the many challenges they continue to face.
"If you've come across this country from Keta to Komenda, from Techiman to Tamale, you would've seen the silent labour of our farmers' cooperatives, our mothers hunched on tomato beds, and young people innovating with very little support," he said. "Yet many cannot access cold storage or find a fair market. And a single failed season can erase years of efforts."
