The event, opened by the Volta Regional Minister, Hon. James Gunu, together with the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Hon. Eric Opoku, highlights Ghana’s commitment to strengthening food security, promoting agribusiness innovation, and honouring the nation’s hardworking farmers.
Hon. Gunu, in his address, emphasized that this year’s theme, “Feed Ghana, Eat Ghana, Secure the Future,” aligns with the country’s long-term vision of expanding agro-based industries and ensuring sustainable livelihoods.
He noted that the Volta Region has emerged as a national leader in rice production, aquaculture, cassava processing, vegetable cultivation, and animal husbandry, making it a fitting host for the 2025 celebration.
