Three Organisations Support Farmers’ Day with Tools, Machinery and Cash Donations

Three organisations – Crocodile Machete Ghana, Sino Machinery Ghana Limited, and Interplast Ghana on Friday, November 21, 2025 made separate presentations to the Ministry of Food and Agriculture to support this year’s National Farmers’ Day celebration. The donations ranged from agricultural tools and machinery to cash and irrigation materials.

Crocodile Machete Ghana Donates 600 Machetes

Crocodile Machete Ghana presented 600 pieces of machetes, packaged in 10 boxes, as part of their contribution to the national celebration. A representative of the company said the gesture was to recognise the tireless efforts of Ghanaian farmers.

“We are honoured to donate 600 pieces of machetes towards this year’s National Farmers’ Day. This is our way of appreciating the hard-working farmers across the country and we will continue supporting the Ministry in empowering them,” the representative said.

Sino Machinery Ghana Limited Provides Tractor and Implements

A team from Sino Machinery Ghana Limited, led by General Manager Johnny Zhang, donated a complete Y2 farming tractor, including a trailer, plough and harrow.

Zhang explained that the presentation demonstrated the company’s commitment to agricultural development in Ghana.

“This shows our support for the Farmers’ Day celebration and for the whole nation. We hope our Y2 products and accessories will help the farming sector and make a meaningful contribution. We are into Sino trucks, machinery and Y2 farming products, with spare parts and services always available,” he said.

Interplast Ghana Donates Cash and Drip Irrigation Kits

Interplast Ghana, through its InGreen Manager, Fares Al-Ayadi, donated GH¢25,000, made up of GH¢10,000 cash and GH¢15,000 worth of drip irrigation kits. He stressed that irrigation support was especially critical during the dry season.

“Farmers need irrigation now more than ever. Even after giving them these drip kits, we will follow up to assist them with installation and demonstrate how to use them properly. We support all farmers,” Al-Ayadi stated.

After receiving all three donations, the Minister of Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, expressed profound appreciation to the companies, noting that their collective efforts demonstrate an encouraging partnership between the private sector and national agricultural development.

He described Crocodile Machete Ghana as a consistent stakeholder in the agricultural space and acknowledged their long-standing support to the Ministry.

He also commended Sino Machinery Ghana Limited for providing what he described as a “significant and practical intervention” to boost mechanisation among farmers, especially at a time when modern equipment has become essential to scale up production.

Turning to Interplast Ghana, the Minister highlighted the importance of irrigation solutions and praised the company for not only donating kits, but also committing to train farmers on proper installation and usage.

“These donations whether tools, machinery, cash, or irrigation kits will go directly to our farmers across the country. They will contribute to food production, productivity, and the overall stability of our food system. At this crucial period, such support is extremely valuable,” he said.

The Minister further encouraged all three organisations to maintain their partnership with the Ministry and participate actively in the upcoming Farmers’ Day exhibition, emphasising that the gains of such collaborations benefit the entire nation.
