Matthew Siwuo, a 30-year-old farmer from Dikpe, a community in the Lawra Municipality has expressed worry as to how to feed his family until the next planting season after floods destroyed his entire farm.
A visit to Mr Siwuo's farm by the Ghana News Agency (GNA) showed that he had lost the entire one and half hectares of maize and guinea corn farms due to the overflow of the Black Volta Dam overflow at Dikpe following days of heavy rains in the municipality.
He told the Ghana News Agency in an interview at Dikpe that the destroyed farm was his only source of livelihood, which he relied on to make ends meet saying, "What will I feed my family on?
The water has destroyed everything." "I usually sell some of the produce from this to take care of our expenses, while I save the rest to feed the family," he indicated.
