The Minister for Food and Agriculture, Hon. Eric Opoku has assured that the 41st Farmers’ Day award winners will receive their cash prizes during the day of the celebration.
Past years, national best award winners have been going through tough times by chasing the awarder for their prizes. At times, they could chase the payment for more than months.
To release these frustrations and stress on the deserve awardee farmers, the Agric Minister has assured the award winners for receiving their cash prizes at the ground on the day of the celebration.
He revealed this when Agriculture Development Bank (ADB) presented the cheque for the national best farmer to the ministry.
“This year, we want to have a special farmers’ day celebration, every awardee will receive the award right on the field of celebration,” Minister added.
He extoled ADB for the intervention of presenting the demi-cheque to the ministry to be presented to the national best farmer, but the proper cheque will directly be put into the account of the winner.
He assured of transparency and accountability to disburse all the items donated by the stakeholders to the deserved award winners during the national farmers’ day.
