Ministry of Agriculture signs deal to establish organic fertiliser plant in Ghana    

The Ministry of Food and Agriculture has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Omanbapa AgriTech Limited to establish an organic fertiliser plant to boost food production and reduce Ghana’s dependence on synthetic fertilisers.

Mr Opoku said the product had undergone technical testing by the Plant Protection and Regulatory Services Directorate (PPRSD) and had been certified for use in Ghana after demonstrating its potential to increase food production.

Mr Opoku said the project would create additional income opportunities for farmers because agricultural waste materials, including maize husks and other crop residues, would be purchased as raw materials for fertiliser production.
