Farmer’s Day is a celebrated event in Ghana, acknowledging the hard work and dedication of farmers across the country. In Amenfi West, the occasion was marked with great enthusiasm, and Hon. Kwasi Afrifa, a renowned Businessman and member of the ruling party, showed his support by sponsoring an award for the overall best farmer.
Agriculture is a vital sector in Ghana’s economy, employing a significant portion of the population. Farmers play a crucial role in food production, contributing to the country’s food security and economic growth. However, their efforts often go unrecognized, and they face numerous challenges, including limited access to resources, finance, and markets.
Farmer’s Day celebrations aim to change this narrative by recognizing and rewarding the efforts of farmers.
During the recent Farmer’s Day celebration which took place at Nyamennae on 24th November 2023, Hon. Afrifa sponsored an award for the overall best farmer, which consisted of a tricycle(aboboyaa).
Hon. Afrifa’s commitment to the agricultural sector has set an example for other leaders to follow, demonstrating the positive impact that they can have on their communities.

His sponsorship of the award for the overall best farmer had a significant impact, inspiring farmers and promoting agriculture as a viable career choice.
