Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central, Isaac Adongo, has initiated a free dry-season tractor ploughing program to support local farmers. The program aims to reduce production costs, facilitate timely land preparation, and improve agricultural productivity. This effort is part of Adongo's broader strategy to boost agriculture, increase food production, and enhance farmers' livelihoods in the constituency.
The program has begun in several electoral areas, including Yikene, Kulbia, and Amogrebisi, where farmers are benefiting from free tractor ploughing services. Four tractors have been deployed to ensure wider coverage and timely land preparation across the constituency. The tractors will continue operations in the remaining electoral areas as the program progresses.
According to Aboyom Job, Bolgatanga Central Constituency Communication Officer, the program is designed to support farmers during the dry-season farming period. By providing free tractor ploughing services, Adongo hopes to make farming more accessible and productive for his constituents.
The free tractor ploughing program is expected to have a positive impact on the local agricultural sector. By reducing production costs and improving land preparation, farmers in Bolgatanga Central can increase their yields and improve their overall well-being. The program also demonstrates Adongo's commitment to supporting his constituents and promoting economic development in the area.
Farmers in electoral areas that have not yet benefited from the program are encouraged to prepare their lands and liaise with program coordinators to facilitate smooth implementation. This will ensure that all farmers in the constituency have access to the free tractor ploughing services and can take advantage of the program's benefits.
The initiative has been well-received by local farmers, who appreciate Adongo's efforts to support their livelihoods. By investing in agriculture and providing essential services like tractor ploughing, Adongo is helping to promote food security and economic growth in Bolgatanga Central.
The free dry-season tractor ploughing program is part of a broader effort to support agriculture and improve the lives of farmers in Ghana. As the program continues to roll out, it is expected to have a lasting impact on the local community and contribute to the country's overall agricultural development.
