V/R: Central Tongu farmers receive 3,045 bags of fertilizer under PFJ initiative

The Central Tongu District Assembly, on August 1, 2024, distributed 3,045 bags of fertilizer to farmers in the district, as part of the government's "Planting for Food and Jobs" initiative.
The fertilizers, comprising 1,015 bags of Urea and 2,030 bags of NPK, were handed over to beneficiaries.
The District Chief Executive (DCE) for the Central Tongu District, Mr. Thomas Moore Zonyrah, explained that the fertilizers arrived in three batches.
The first batch targeted recent flood victims, while the second batch came from Agrigators, supervised by the Ministry of Food and Agriculture.
The third batch was a free allocation from the government to registered farmers under the initiative.
Mr Zonyrah emphasized that no payment was required from farmers. Beneficiaries will also receive seeds of various kinds, as the district assembly awaits the delivery of seedlings for later distribution.
Farmers expressed gratitude to the government for the timely intervention, citing high market prices for fertilizers.
This initiative supports farmers in the district, aligning with the government's efforts to ensure food security and economic growth.
