A lecturer at the Department of Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness, University of Ghana, Professor Irene Egyir has urged stakeholders in the agricultural sector to explore other food sources to diversify agribusiness in the country.
Prof. Egyir noted that some fruits, vegetables and cash crops have been given little attention, a situation which is affecting sustainability of food, leading to food shortages and price hikes on the market.
She, therefore, called for actionable measures to ensure robust food production and resilient agricultural practices in the country.
She was speaking at the 72nd New Year School and Conference in Accra.
An Agribusiness Entrepreneur Nana Adjoa Sifa Amponsah urged farmers to regard their operations as a business and adopt new methods of farming.
She also stressed the need to support smallholder farmers and empower them to be at the forefront of agribusiness.
