Leading up to the main event, Agrifest Ghana 2024, a five-day National Agricultural Fair, will be held from November 4 to 8.
This event will showcase the best of Ghana’s agricultural sector, bringing together farmers and stakeholders from across the country to exchange knowledge and explore new innovations in agriculture.
The highlight of the Farmers’ Day celebration will be the National Awards Night on November 8, where President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will present awards to outstanding farmers in 16 categories.
The prestigious awards include the Overall National Best Farmer, Best Female Farmer, and Best Physically Challenged Farmer, honoring the invaluable contributions of farmers to Ghana’s agricultural sector.
