National Seed Council calls for stronger seed value chain to boost food security

The National Seed Council has called for stronger collaboration among government regulators, research institutions, private seed companies, and agro-dealers to build a resilient seed sector and improve agricultural productivity in Ghana.

He further highlighted government support for the seed sector, including the distribution of free fertiliser and Nkoko nkititi under the Feed Ghana Programme, support for climate-sensitive borehole irrigation and strategic investment in the vegetable sector, particularly tomato production.

The Chairman of the Council, Alhaji Mumuni Abubakari, made the call during a stakeholder engagement at Walewale in the North East Region as part of the Council’s nationwide tour to assess seed production, distribution, and certification activities.
