The Ministry of Food and Agriculture has received Four hundred and eighty thousand Ghana Cedis (GHc480,000) worth of agri inputs and twenty thousand Ghana Cedis cheque (GHc20,000) donation from Jay Kay industries to support the farmers’ day celebration on 5th December 2025 at Ho.
The Agri Lead of Jay Kay Industries, Enam E. Yakah in his presentation said the government has been doing a great job for promoting the work of farmers in Ghana.
To support the government the company donated a huge quantity of ROKO Nano Urea Fertilizer to all the farmers in Ghana who use UREA fertilizer; a liquid nitrogen fertilizer applied as a foliar spray.
Moreover, the donation is to support the government’s great effort in providing crucial interventions needed by Ghanaian farmers.
It is a nanotechnology-based product designed as an efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to granular urea, with over 80% nutrient absorption through plant leaves.
Mr. Yakah said the quantity donated to the Ministry is meant for 2,400 acres of farmland use and one and half forty-footer container bags of fertilizers is equivalent to the inputs donated.
According to him, unlike granular fertilizers that that adds acid to the soil, nano fertilizers enrich the plants since the leaves rather absorb the nutrients directly without the soil’s intervention.
He advocated nano urea to be cheaper in terms of transporting a small quantity as compared to the granular urea fertilizers.
Again, nano urea fertilizers are environmentally friendly since it doesn’t go to the soil as compared to the granular urea fertilizers.
He assured the farmers of proving them with best agri inputs to ensure food security in Ghana.
“We are very much appreciative of your generosity and your willingness to contribute to agriculture,” Hon. Eric Opoku, Minister of Agriculture said when receiving the items.
The Minister assured that everything that the industry has donated would be given to the farmers to improve production.
He called on other stakeholders to come on board to motivate the farmers to produce the food Ghana needs.
