Ghana will commemo­rate the 40th edition of the National Farmers' Day in the Greater Accra Region on Friday, November 8, instead of the usual December due to the 2024 general election.

This year's event is on the theme, 'Building Climate-Resil­ient Agriculture for Sustainable Food Security,' to highlight the country's commitment to adopt­ing agricultural practices that effectively address the challenges posed by climate change.

This was contained in a statement issued by the Public Relations Unit of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture in Accra on Wednesday.

It said as part of the lead-up to this landmark celebration, Ghana would host a five-day Na­tional Agricultural Fair, Agrifest Ghana 2024, from November 4 to 8, 2024. "This event will showcase Ghana's rich agricultural heritage and serve as a vibrant platform for knowledge exchange and innovation, bringing together farmers and stakeholders from across the country", it disclosed.
