As part of the ongoing 2025 National Farmers’ Day Celebration, the Ministry of Food and Agriculture organized an Innovation, Research and Development Presentation Session to highlight pioneering work by tertiary and research institutions across the agricultural value chain.

The Volta Regional Minister, Hon. James Gunu joined the session and emphasized that the future security of Ghana’s agricultural sector, as reflected in this year’s theme, depends on the continuous work of research institutions. He noted that the platform provides these institutions the opportunity to showcase bold ideas and innovations that contribute meaningfully to national agricultural development.

Presentations were delivered by Ho Technical University (HTU), the University of Cape Coast (UCC), the University of Energy and Natural Resources (UENR), and the University for Development Studies (UDS). Their research outputs demonstrated strong potential to support Ghana’s agricultural transformation agenda.

The event, chaired by Hon. John Dumelo, Deputy Minister for Food and Agriculture and MP for Ayawaso West Wuogon, was attended by academics and officials from the Ministry of Food and Agriculture

The VRCC remains committed to supporting national initiatives that promote agricultural innovation, sustainability, and growth.
