The donation according to the would be the first time the association has received the equipment.
The equipment is valued at GHS300,000.00, the MP disclosed.
The MP after the donation said: “I was delighted to hand over a new Combine Harvester and Power Tillers to the Aveyime Rice Farmers’ Association in my beloved constituency.
This will be the first time in the association’s history where it will have access to its own dedicated Combine Harvester and Power Tillers which will operate on their rice farms at a special MP subsidized rate, far below market charges.
This intervention valued in excess of GHS300,000.00 will ensure that my beloved rice farmers will not only complete harvesting before Christmas, they would also be guaranteed enhanced profits from henceforth.
The era of depending on expensive and unreliable rentals are over.
I shall continue to empower our dynamic hardworking farmers, create more jobs in the process, and contribute our quota towards Ghana’s rice self-sufficiency imperative.
You can also support us by deliberately and consistently buying made in Ghana rice.”
