The Ministry of Food and Agriculture has received a brand new Zonda pickup vehicle from Zonda Tec Ghana Limited, Chinese automobile company that assemblies their vehicles in Ghana to support the 42nd National Farmer’s Day Celebration.
Presenting the donation, the Head of Marketing, Zonda Tec Ghana, Zeshan Gull, commended the hard work of the farmers.
“We understand that when we support farmers, we are directly supporting the food chain to a large extent, widening the economy,” Zeshan Gull said.
He mentioned that farmers feed everyone on the planet, including homes, markets and industries; therefore, farmers’ success is the success of everyone in the country.
He acclaimed the Agric Minister for the hard work to enhance food security in Ghana.
He assured the company’s support to the Ministry to improve farmers’ livelihoods in their capacity.
Receiving the donation on behalf of the farmers and the ministry, the Minister of Food and Agriculture, Hon. Eric Opoku, extolled Zonda Tec for heeding the ministry’s call to support the organization of the farmers’ day.
“It is our responsibility as a society to ensure that we can produce food in abundance, especially when nature has provided all the resources that we have and all the resources that we need to be able to produce sufficiently to feed our people,” Hon. Eric Opoku said.
He called on the entire society to show interest in agriculture since agriculture is for all.
Serving as a conduit to the farmers, the Minister said every penny that has been donated to grace the occasion would be delivered to the deserving farmers.
He stressed that the time is now to marshal all resources to motivate farmers because farmers produce the food that gives everyone the energy to contribute to nation-building.
