The National Peasant Farmers Association has reported that 80 per cent of its members have been left out of the second phase of the Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJ) programme.
The Association expressed concerns that farm input and other necessary logistics have not yet reached its members, hampering their agricultural activities.
Wepia Awal Addo, the National President of the Association, highlighted the urgent need for support and called on the Agric Minister, Bryan Acheampong, to intervene.
He stressed the importance of including all members in the program to ensure its success and benefit the peasant farming community.
The Association is appealing for immediate assistance to rectify the situation and provide the required resources to its members.
They emphasised that timely support is crucial for the farmers to contribute effectively to the nation's food production and overall agricultural development.
“As of June, we observed that 80% of the farmers have not been registered and their farms have not been mapped, which is a source of worry to us, because the rainy season has started.
"If you go to many places, a lot of people have started planting, and they need the inputs to be able to grow food."
“So, this is a source of worry to us as an association because our members are calling on us every day for the farm inputs,” he said.
