The Ministry of Food and Agriculture says steps are being taken to confine the development of maize and different grains from Ghana to different pieces of the sub-area.
This follows steady grievances of an absence of maize, specifically by poultry ranchers, regardless of fresh insight about further developed maize creation by the Agriculture Minister.
Back in July, the Poultry Farmers Association cautioned of a breakdown of the business because of an absence of maize for the readiness of feed for their birds.
Addressing Citi News in transit forward, the Head of Public Relations at the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, Bagbara Tanko noticed that the service has made a proposition to Cabinet for the foundation of a Grains Development Authority which will be answerable for restricting controling the peculiarities of brokers from adjoining nations coming into the country to purchase huge amounts of maize from Ghana.
"When Planting for Food and Jobs appeared, there has generally been an improvement as far as grain creation. Yet, our neighbors troop in and truck these grains in huge amounts. The Buffer Stock Company isn't working a support framework where the public authority is engaged to buy from ranchers, store it, and delivery it when there is none. That is the test and subsequently, the pastor has recommended that we need to welcome on board a Grains Development Authority which will have the abilities to limit the development of these grains outside the nation being aware of the ECOWAS conventions."
In the mean time, the General Agricultural Workers Union (GAWU) is disappointed with the aftereffects of the public authority's Planting for Food and Jobs program.
The association says the mediation has fizzled and that except if it is audited and another system took on, it will keep on falling flat.
Talking on the Citi Breakfast Show on Tuesday, the General Secretary of GAWU, Edward Kareweh said in opposition to claims by the Minister for Agriculture, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, that there would be a guard collect this year, the circumstance on the ground is one of low gather and increasing expense of food.
"The condition of the area fourteen days to Christmas is normal. We have had cause to raise worries about the manner in which we were running the Planting for Food and Jobs, and assuming we progress forward that direction, the outcome won't be ideal. Indeed, even in the time of reaping, we actually have no food. This is against the guarantees and guard of the Minister of Agriculture that this year we will have a guard collect. There is no food. The cost of food has gone up even in the reaping season," he said.
