The John A. Kufour Foundation (JAKF) launched the maiden edition of the Youth in Agribusiness festival to establish the Youth in Agribusiness Information hub in Ghana.
The festival was under the theme; “Youth in Agribusiness in Ghana: the story so far and the way forward” will be one-stop-shop where all the necessary information needed for the development and sustainability of agribusiness could be accessed by the young individuals in Ghana.
“The festival is designed to showcase the outstanding development of young people within the agribusiness sector. It seeks to celebrate distinguished young agribusiness practitioners by providing the platform for them to share their success stories.
“It is therefore important to provide the platform to share the experiences, learn lessons, and network along the value chain which will serve as an inspiration to generate interest for both employed and unemployed youths, more especially for those who do not see agribusiness as an attractive business venture will be exposed to the achievement of youth in Agribusiness”, The Foundation said.
As part of the activities for the maiden Youth in Agribusiness Festival, there will be an exhibition of agribusiness products and services. All interested persons and companies are encouraged to register. Click on the link https://bit.ly/3smpAmQ or scan the flyer to access the registration forms.
