This is according to deputy chief of Staff in charge of Operations, Mr. Kenneth Wujangi, who made the call at a forum organised in Accra under the auspices of the Sustainable Development Alliance (SDA), a non-governmental organisation, for partner organisations in vegetable production.
The forum was on the theme: “How can public-private partnerships move vegetable value chain forward in Ghana?”
Mr. Wujangi observed that the way to boost the vegetable sector was for institutions and stakeholder organisations to disseminate relevant information on best practices to farmers in remote parts of the country.
He said the government had rolled out the green economy initiative and a number of irrigation schemes to ensure that there was the robust production of vegetables and other food crops.
Technical advisor to the United Nations Agency for International Development (USAID), Mr. Kwesi Korboe, called on vegetable farmers to move from subsistence to commercial farming to enjoy economic returns.
According to him, climate change was a major threat to vegetable and food sustainability in the country and thus there was the need for farmers to imbibe environmentally free farming practices and technology to boost production.
