Four new improved crop varieties have been introduced to farmers at Kunkulung in the Kumbungu district of the Northern region to help increase yield among smallholder farmers.
The new cowpea, maize and groundnut varieties are said to be drought-tolerant and can mature within three months after planting.
This has become necessary following the climate change and its effects on rainfall patterns in the area.
The project has been globally led by the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, and in Ghana, it was led by the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture.
The World Bank funded project is been implemented in 32 districts in eight regions in the country.
