The government of the Republic of Ghana has allocated an amount of GH¢1.5 billion to the Agriculture for Economic Transformation Agenda (AETA).
In a budget presentation to Parliament on March 11, 2025, the Minister of Finance, Cassiel Ato Forson, reaffirmed the government’s commitment to boosting the agricultural sector as a key driver of economic growth.
He emphasized that this allocation is aimed at enhancing productivity, improving food security, and creating employment opportunities within the sector.
The GH¢1.5 billion investment is expected to support various agricultural programs, including modernization initiatives, irrigation projects, access to credit for farmers, and the promotion of agribusiness.
The government believes that a thriving agricultural sector will contribute significantly to Ghana’s overall economic transformation, ensuring sustainable growth and development.
This move aligns with the government’s broader strategy to strengthen the agricultural value chain, increase exports, and reduce the nation’s dependency on food imports.
