Canadian-funded agri-vehicles auctioned before 2025; Agric Minister promises report on sale
According to Mr Opoku, the vehicles were supplied under the Ghana-Canada farming support arrangement as part of efforts to strengthen the government’s Planting for Food and Jobs programme, particularly for agricultural extension agents and district directors.
The Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, has disclosed that some vehicles donated by the Canadian government in 2021 to support agricultural extension services were auctioned before they had been in use for four years.
The Minister made the disclosure when he appeared before Parliament’s Assurances Committee on Thursday, July 9, where he appealed for support to help the ministry secure funding to procure replacement vehicles for district agricultural offices.
