‘Except for maize, food prices have remained stable’ – Agric Minister on dry spell planning

Food and Agriculture Minister, Bryan Acheampong, opened up about the government’s meticulous planning to cushion the agricultural sector from the impacts of the dry spell experienced this year.

The dry spell, which many feared would trigger a food crisis, was anticipated and accounted for well before it struck.

“We knew about the dry spell and had projected its impact as far back as February,” Bryan Acheampong revealed, underscoring the Ministry’s proactive stance in mitigating the effects of the adverse weather conditions.

“We’ve been working to ensure that if it did happen, we would not feel that much of an effect on our food systems,” he said in a recent interview on Joy News’ PM Express Business Edition.
