The Government Statistician Professor Samuel Kobina Annim has asked government to address shifts in food supply and agricultural labour due to climate change effects.
He made the call after food inflation increased to 22.1 percent in September from 19.1 in August 2024 driving overall inflation to hit to 21.5 percent.
Prof. Annim expressed worry that food inflation has been a challenge, driven by climate change effect.
He appealed to government to focus on addressing the issue with the Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJ) Phase II.
He stated that even though some seasons have bumper harvest, the lack of storage facilities make it difficult to preserve some foodstuff for the lean season.
