Demeter Ghana Limited has donated agro-inputs and GHS20,000 to support the Farmers’ Day Celebration that comes off on the 4th December 2026 in Sunyani, Bono Region.
The agro-inputs amount to Two Hundred Thousand Ghana Cedis (GHS200,000), consisting of 500 bags of 50 kg Asaase Hemaa and 20 boxes of Omex Starter Pro.
Highlighting the inputs’ benefits to farmers, Demeter Country Director William Hunt said Asaase Hemaa is a calcium carbonate liming product that helps address acidity where soil testing shows a need.
He added that Omex Starter Pro is a separate contribution to crop nutrition that enhances soil health, strengthens farmer livelihoods, and improves food security.
Seizing the opportunity to educate the farmers on soil testing, Mr. Hunt said some farming practices can worsen soil acidity and that soil acidity can affect crop growth and reduce the value farmers get from their output.
Receiving the donation on behalf of the Ministry, the Chairman of the National Farmers’ Day Celebration, who doubled as the Deputy Minister
of Food and Agriculture, Hon. John Setor Dumelo, commended Demeter Ghana for the donation.
He urged corporate individuals to submit their donations as the date for the event gets closer.
