Farmers trust in improved seeds fell in 2019 – Research
A research conducted by the Ghana Trades and Livelihoods Coalition (GTLC) in 2019 has shown that farmers’ trust in improved seeds supplied under the Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJs) programme dropped significantly. The research showed that some of the farmers, who have experienced low germination of the improved seeds supplied under the programme, started rejecting the seeds when it was supplied to them in 2019. Mr Ibrahim Akalbila, Coordinator of GTLC, disclosed this in Wa during a policy dialogue to discuss gender disaggregated results of a survey that assessed the implementation of the four out of the five pillars of the PFJs agenda in 2019.
