加纳 John Dramani Mahama 总统概述了新启动的 “加纳粮食计划” （Feed Ghana Programme）下的主要干预措施，该计划是一项旗舰倡议，旨在实现农业现代化，提高粮食安全，支持加纳的经济转型。
4 月中旬，Mahama 总统在 Techiman 正式启动该计划时表示，该倡议是他更广泛的农业促进经济转型议程（AETA）的关键组成部分，该议程旨在通过可持续农业实践创造就业机会、降低食品通胀和改善生计。1. 推广智慧农业：Mahama 总统表示，政府将在全国各地建立农民服务中心。这些中心将为农民提供机械化服务、优质投入、融资、市场准入、初级加工和培训。此外，该计划将在指定的灌溉区建立 “农场银行” 或土地银行，以支持年轻的农业企业家并促进国家粮食生产。2. 谷物和豆类发展项目：第二项干预措施侧重于扩大玉米、水稻、大豆和高粱的生产。这些作物将用于当地消费、农产品加工和出口。由于高粱作为酿造业原料的潜力，将特别强调高粱。该项目还将支持对家禽和牲畜生产至关重要的饲料行业。3. 蔬菜发展项目- “Yiridya”：为了减少从邻国进口蔬菜，该计划将促进使用温室技术的受控环境农业，以及城市和城郊农业。Mahama 总统鼓励学校和家庭建立菜园，种植西红柿、洋葱、花园鸡蛋、秋葵和辣椒。他回顾了过去 “自给自足行动”（Operation Feed Yourself）等举措的成功，强调了后院花园曾经在家庭粮食安全中发挥的关键作用。他说：“我们将鼓励社区花园，以提高营养和家庭收入。”4. 机构农业：最后一个组成部分旨在让学校，特别是有可用土地的高中参与作物和畜牧业。目标是提高为学生提供的膳食质量，降低食品成本。将支持机构饲养山羊、绵羊和牛等牲畜，以补充学校供餐计划。Mahama 总统补充说，该倡议将帮助学生将农业视为一条可行且有益的职业道路。他还强调，这些干预措施将振兴农业部门，加强自力更生，并使加纳成为非洲大陆自由贸易区区域粮食市场的关键参与者。
Mahama Outlines Key Interventions under ‘Feed Ghana’ to Transform Agriculture
President John Dramani Mahama has outlined the major interventions under the newly launched ‘Feed Ghana Programme’, a flagship initiative aimed at modernizing agriculture, boosting food security, and supporting Ghana’s economic transformation.
Speaking at the official launch of the programme in Techiman on Saturday, April 12, Mr. Mahama said the initiative is a critical component of his broader Agriculture for Economic Transformation Agenda (AETA), which is designed to create jobs, reduce food inflation, and improve livelihoods through sustainable agricultural practices.
He announced four key interventions under the programme:
1. Promotion of Smart Agriculture: Mahama stated that the government will establish Farmer Service Centers across the country. These centers will provide mechanization services, quality inputs, financing, market access, primary processing, and training for farmers.
Additionally, the programme will create “farm banks” or land banks in designated irrigable zones to support young agricultural entrepreneurs and boost national food production.
2. Grains and Legumes Development Project: The second intervention focuses on scaling up the production of maize, rice, soybean, and sorghum. These crops will be cultivated for local consumption, agro-processing, and export.
Special emphasis will be placed on sorghum due to its potential as a raw material for the brewing industry. The project will also support the feed industry, which is essential to poultry and livestock production.
3. Vegetable Development Project – ‘Yiridya’: To reduce vegetable imports from neighboring countries, the programme will promote controlled environment farming using greenhouse technology, as well as urban and peri-urban agriculture.
Mahama encouraged schools and households to establish vegetable gardens to grow tomatoes, onions, garden eggs, okra, and peppers. He recalled the success of past initiatives such as “Operation Feed Yourself,” highlighting how backyard gardens once played a key role in household food security.
“We will encourage community gardens to enhance nutrition and household incomes,” he said.
4. Institutional Farming: The final component aims to engage schools, especially senior high schools with available land, in crop and livestock farming. The goal is to improve the quality of meals served to students and reduce food costs.
Institutions will be supported to raise livestock such as goats, sheep, and cattle to supplement the School Feeding Programme. Mahama added that the initiative will help students view agriculture as a viable and rewarding career path.
President Mahama emphasized that these interventions will revitalize the agricultural sector, enhance self-reliance, and position Ghana as a key player in regional food markets under the African Continental Free Trade Area.
