Mr. Edem Ackuaku, the Chief Executive Officer of Delmark Agro, is set to deepen his engagement with farmers and agricultural stakeholders in the Akatsi South Municipality through another Farmers Symposium. The event, scheduled for Tuesday, September 22, 2026, aims to share knowledge and forge collaboration among farmers, policymakers, and industry players. The symposium, organized by Delmark Agro in collaboration with Tiger Biotech Industries, will be held under the theme: “Empowering Farmers through Knowledge and Collaboration.”
The symposium will be held at two venues, with the first session scheduled for 1200 hours at the Community Library at Atidzive, followed by a second session at 1500 hours at Tayime, both in the Akatsi South Municipality. Mr. Ackuaku is expected to address participants on the role of agribusiness in empowering farmers and the importance of collaboration in advancing agricultural development. His goal is to provide farmers with practical knowledge and create opportunities for partnerships.
The event will feature several speakers, including Mr. Daniel Dagba, the Municipal Chief Executive for Akatsi South, who will highlight the government's commitment to supporting local farmers through collaborative initiatives. Additionally, Mr. Patrick Adzame, the Assembly Member for the Atidzive Electoral Area, and Mr. Neyram Satsi, Assembly Member for Monome Dzrakate Electoral Area, will share perspectives on community-level agricultural development.
The organizers say the symposium forms part of efforts to provide farmers with practical knowledge and create opportunities for partnerships, exposing them to innovative approaches to addressing challenges within the agricultural sector. They believe that continued engagement with farmers is crucial to improving access to information, technology, and other resources required to enhance agricultural productivity.
Mr. Ackuaku has in recent times organized and participated in similar farmer-focused engagements in the Akatsi South Municipality, with an emphasis on agricultural knowledge, technology, and opportunities for farmers. Through his various initiatives, he has impacted practical skills to several young people and individuals, equipping them with knowledge and skills to pursue livelihoods and become self-reliant.
The event is being held under the slogan: “Together We Build a Stronger Agriculture.” It is also significant to note that Mr. Ackuaku is contesting for the position of Vice Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Akatsi South Constituency, as the party prepares to elect new constituency executives. The symposium is expected to bring together farmers, policymakers, and industry players to deliberate on ways to strengthen agriculture.
