Morocco Supports Ghana With 2,000mt Fertilizer

The donated fertilizers

 

The Kingdom of Morocco has presented 2,000 metric tonnes of fertilizer to the government in support of the country’s agricultural sector.

The support forms part of efforts to accelerate the government’s flagship Feed Ghana Programme, under the broader Agriculture for Economic Transformation Agenda (AETA).

Morocco’s Ambassador to Ghana, Imane Ouaadil, who officially handed over the donation, highlighted the gesture as part of a broader South-South cooperation framework championed by King Mohammed VI of Morocco.

She expressed hope that the fertilizer will help Ghanaian farmers increase crop yields and contribute meaningfully to the country’s food security objectives.

“This fertilizer donation is another demonstration of Morocco’s goodwill and commitment to deepening our collaboration with Ghana,” Ambassador Ouaadil stated.

Deputy Minister for Food and Agriculture, John Dumelo, expressed profound gratitude to the Moroccan government for what he described as a timely and strategic intervention.

He reiterated the government’s commitment to strengthening cooperation with Morocco in key areas such as seed commercialisation, irrigation development, fertilizer production, and agricultural knowledge exchange.

“Unfortunately, many of our smallholder farmers still face challenges in acquiring sufficient and affordable fertilizer inputs. This donation of 2,000 metric tonnes of fertilizer will therefore go a long way in addressing this gap, particularly at a time when the government is scaling up the distribution of inputs to priority production zones across the country.” Mr Dumelo said

The Deputy Agric Minister gave the assurance that the fertilizer would be distributed transparently under the Feed Ghana Programme to reach the intended beneficiaries, the hardworking farmers across the country.

“Farmers are at the heart of our agricultural transformation, and this donation is a strong boost to their productivity and resilience. We thank all partners for making this initiative a reality,” Mr Dumelo said.
