Peasant Farmers Association is not pleased with the government's recent ban on the export of key grains, including maize, rice, and soybean. This concern comes after the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Bryan Acheampong, announced a ban on these grains. According to him, this measure will ensure food security within the country. Mr Acheampong's directive comes in response to the ongoing dry spell that has devastated agricultural production in eight regions.
