The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Presidential Candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has outlined his vision to uplift agricultural constituencies, such as Asunafo South, by introducing initiatives focused on modernizing farming practices.
As part of this vision, Dr. Bawumia announced the District Agriculture Mechanization Center Programme, a new initiative that aims to provide farmers with essential tools and equipment to support mechanized farming.
Addressing party supporters in Sankore, Asunafo South, on Thursday, October 31, Dr. Bawumia emphasized that this program will expand farmers’ access to advanced agricultural tools, boosting productivity and operational efficiency.
Recognizing farmers as pillars of Ghana’s economy and key to food security, Dr. Bawumia noted that this support is a step toward empowering local farmers and strengthening the agricultural sector.
“Agriculture will be my top priority. Over 60% of Ghanaians are farmers, whether in the North, South, or East. Ghana’s growth depends on the stability and success of our farmers.
“I am committed to equipping farmers with essential resources—technology, irrigation, and financial support—to enhance their businesses.
“We will build on our progress in the cocoa sector, as seen through the DRIP project, which is developing infrastructure in districts nationwide.
“I will also establish District Agriculture Mechanization Centers, supplying every district with farming equipment, including tractors, hoes, harvesters, fertilizers, chemicals, and planters,” Dr. Bawumia stated.
