A Development Economist, Dr George Domfeh is advocating heavy investment in the agriculture sector of Ghana's economy.

Apart from creating jobs, he said, an improved agriculture sector will also reduce the overreliance on imported foods.

Dr Domefeh explained that heavy reliance on imports has weakened the strength of the local currency, the Cedi.

However, he added, if the agriculture sector is improved and Ghanaians are able to produce more to feed themselves and also export, the Cedi will gain strength.
