Agotime Ziope MP initiates irrigation project to promote all-season farming in his constituency

The Member of Parliament for Agotime Ziope, Charles Agbeve has kick-started implementing an irrigation project to promote food production and growth of the local economy of his constituency.

The first phase of the project saw the construction of a dam for the people of Wortikpo to ensure an all-season farming to enhance their livelihoods.

Peasant farming is the main source of livelihood for residents in the Agotime Ziope Districts, making agriculture a major contributor to the local economy.

However, these residents are unable to engage in all-season farming due to the lack of water to irrigate their farms, hence has been a major setback and impediment to their livelihoods.

“We are farmers here in this community. But we suffer during the dry season because the rains stop and we have to cease farming until the next season“, Adzudzorvi Helen said.
