Why It Matters
By equipping extension officers with broader advisory skills, the programme aims to accelerate Ghana’s transition from primary crop production to value‑added, export‑ready agriculture. Strengthening extension services is expected to improve farmer productivity, enhance market linkages, and support the development of agro‑ecological parks and processing hubs such as the Volta Economic Corridor and the Oti Region palm plantation project.
