Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, has encouraged Ghanaians and investors to turn their attention to agriculture, describing the sector as one of the most profitable areas of the economy.
According to the Minister, agriculture offers numerous investment opportunities across various value chains and remains a key driver of economic growth, job creation, and food security.
“The agriculture space is where the money is, so if you’re looking forward to investing, that should be your choice,” he said.
Mr. Opoku made the remarks while discussing government interventions aimed at boosting agricultural production and attracting more people into the sector.
He noted that beyond crop cultivation, opportunities exist in poultry production, livestock farming, food processing, irrigation, agribusiness services, and agricultural technology.
“There are a lot of opportunities within the space,” he stated in an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show.
The Minister said government’s ongoing programmes, including the Feed Ghana initiative, are creating an enabling environment for both small-scale and large-scale investors to thrive in the sector.
He expressed optimism that increased investment in agriculture would help strengthen Ghana’s economy, reduce unemployment, and enhance the country’s food production capacity.
Eric Opoku reiterated government’s commitment to supporting farmers and agribusinesses through policies and programmes designed to improve productivity and expand market access.
