To support farmers this season, the Government of Ghana has
launched the 2015 fertilizer and seed subsidy programme effective 1st
April, 2015. The government has targeted to subsidize 180,000MT of granular
fertilizer at a cost of GH 87,600.000 million and 4,000 MT of certified seeds
at the cost of GH 3,000,000 million.
Farmers should note that, with effect from 1st April,
2015, all types of compound fertilizer are to be sold at GH 89 per 50kg bag and
GH 84 per 50 kg bag for Urea. The Savannah Young Farmers Network (SavaNet) will
work closely with the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA) to facilitate
improved access to subsidized fertilizer and certified seeds to farmers under
SavaNet. We will also support all our organic farmers to employ
innovative farming practices for improved productivity. SavaNet wishes all farmers
a successful farming season.
