Ghanaian Union Urges New Agency to Support Farmers

The General Agricultural Workers' Union (GAWU) has congratulated Ghana's farmers for their vital role in national food security. The union, which is part of the national Trades Union Congress, issued the praise in a public statement. GAWU used the occasion to call for the creation of a new government body. It proposes a "Ghana Agriculture Service" to support the country's farming sector. The union argues that a dedicated agency is necessary to improve farming practices and boost production. It believes such a service would provide farmers with better access to resources, training, and modern technology. This call highlights ongoing efforts to strengthen Ghana's agricultural foundation. The proposal seeks to formalize support for the farmers GAWU represents and champions.
