If he wins the 2024 elections, independent presidential candidate Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen has outlined his plans for farmers in the agricultural sector.
Therefore, to help farmers, he has promised to make provisions for them to access financing to help increase agricultural production.
He pledged to lower the costs associated with logistics and transportation, saying that produce would not be allowed to rot at farm gates because there is no system in place for it.
Along with promising better irrigation, the leader of the Movement for Change also committed to starting a new financing plan to boost agricultural productivity and output.
Mr. Kyerematen stated that to “reduce distribution and transport costs, you have to provide incentives to improve the distribution and marketing regime” in an interview with Citi TV’s The Point of View. First in agricultural production is the availability of reasonably priced agricultural financing.
Our research indicates that you cannot maintain agricultural productivity if you lend more than 9% of your total assets to the agricultural sector. Whatever you do, you need to have a different agricultural financing plan if you want to be competitive in the industry and boost productivity and production. Irrigation comes in second.
