President John Dramani Mahama has launched the Vegetable Development Project under the Feed Ghana Initiative at Kukuom in the Ahafo Region.
The launch, which took place on Thursday, November 27, 2025, saw the President describe the initiative as a major step towards strengthening the country’s food security and expanding irrigation systems.
According to him, the initiative includes the construction of a modern packhouse to support grading, sorting, packaging, and cold chain management for all vegetables produced under the project.
He revealed that the project will be completed within 12 months. President Mahama noted that his administration will replicate the model across the country, particularly in the northern regions.
“The entire project has been carefully designed to be completed within 12 months. This Vegetable Development Project will be replicated in many other parts of the country, especially in the north, where water availability is a major challenge at many times of the year,” he said.
He further indicated the Vegetable Development Project will create more jobs, adding that the government is laying the foundation for a 24-hour agricultural economy that will help absorb the growing labour force and support sustainable development.
