Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Ghana Institute of Horticulturists (GHiH) has called on the government to establish a dedicated fund to support the development and release of locally adaptable tomato varieties. The Institute also urged the government, as an interim measure, to subsidize hybrid-pollinated tomato varieties recommended by the Ministry of Food and Agriculture. GHiH stated it was ready to collaborate with the Ministry of Food and Agriculture and the Ministry of Local Government regarding tailored training programs for Agricultural Extension Agents.
