NDC’s Presidential Candidate, John Mahama says promoting agri-business will be a priority in his next tenure in office.
He said this will increase earnings of farmers and create more jobs.
Mr. Mahama explained that his government will set up agriculture mechanization centers with modern farming machinery, to make farming more attractive.
He said an NDC government will create crop processing zones, where smaller factories will be established, to reduce post-harvest losses.
Urging the electorate to vote for him, Mr. Mahama, said his next government will establish a Cashew Development Board to promote the interest of cashew farmers.
He made this known at a gathering of chiefs and people after commissioning a cassava processing factory at Kintampo as part of his three-day tour of the Bono East Region.
