The $8 million Rice Value Chain (RVC) Improvement Project (RVCIP) undertaken in the Central Region to boost rice production and distribution in the country has ended.
Implemented in Gomoa East, Assin Central, Assin North, Assin South and Twifo Atti-Morkwa, the project was geared towards improving the capacity of smallholder rice farmers in the region.
The four-year bilateral project was funded by the Korean government through the Korean International Cooperation (KOICA) and Dankook Institute for International Cooperation (DICA).
Speaking at a ceremony to bring the project to a close in Accra yesterday, the Korean Ambassador to Ghana, Mr Kyongsig Park, urged the government of Ghana to own the project in order to ensure continuity.
