Boosting domestic production of wheat: Arima Farms and CSIR-Crops Research Institute Launch Ghana Wheat Initiative Wheat is a critical part of Ghana's food supply, yet it is consistently imported into the country in large quantities.
Data from Observatory of Economic Complexity (OEC) indicates that, the country imports more than US$230 million worth of wheat annually.
To cut down on the import and save the country from draining its foreign exchange reserves, a leading agricultural company, Arima Farms Ghana, and Crops Research Institute of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CRI-CSIR) have launched the Ghana Wheat Initiative.
The project is designed to promote domestic wheat production, reduce imports, and create economic opportunities for farmers.
