As part of the FEED GHANA program initiated by government through the Ministry of Food and Agriculture to enhance food production, some farmers in the Ada West District on Tuesday, 21st July 2026 were supported with free fertilizers to boost their farm production.

According to the Ada West District Chief Executive (DCE), Hon. Modjifa Tanihu J.J.F Mills-Nkrumah, the fertilizers which were supplied by the Ministry of Food and Agriculture and the purpose was to support farmers engaged in the Feed Ghana program were thousand five hundred (1,500) bags in total and compromised of thousand two hundred (1200) bags of NPK and three hundred (300) bags of Ammonia.

Speaking to few beneficiaries of the free fertilizer, one of them has this to say “the free fertilizer support is a good thing to help farmers but they came late and also the quantity involved was not enough to cater for all farmers”. This beneficiary therefore indicated that, he would be happy that subsequently, the fertilizers would come earlier than the time they were receiving it so they can use it at the right time.

According to the Ada West District Agriculture Director, Mr. Daniel Tetteh Ajesiwor, each beneficiary was to receive one bag of the fertilizer.

The distribution process is expected to continue at a later date, probably tomorrow.
