Two major agribusiness companies, De Heus Ghana and RMG Ghana Limited have made significant donations to the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA), ahead of the 2025 National Farmers Day celebration scheduled for December 5, 2025.
Speaking during the presentation, Samirah Raji, Commercial Manager of De Heus Ghana, introduced the company as a leading feed producer serving the aqua, poultry and swine sectors.
According to her, the donation reflects the company’s commitment to supporting the ministry and farmers across the country.
“We came to generously donate to the ministry because we understand what the ministry is doing and we want to support them. We know our feed will eventually get to the farmers as well,” she said.
De Heus Ghana presented 100 bags of feed valued at approximately GH?60,000.
Madam Raji explained that although feed is a major cost for farmers, choosing quality over quantity remains essential.
“Yes, we understand feed takes a big part of a farmer’s investment. Nevertheless, if you invest in the right feed that gives you top quality, you avoid spending over and over again. When you invest right, you get the right quality the first time. At De Heus, our feed has the best quality you could ever have on the market,” she added.
She also assured farmers that the company remains open and ready to support them, saying “With De Heus, our doors are open from technical advisory to farm support and global support. We are available to give your farm the needed support to ensure the best return.”
Representatives from RMG Ghana Limited, led by Nyanku Dela, with colleagues Henry and Eric, also presented items towards the celebration.
“This has been our trademark. We have been doing this year in and year out,” Dela said.
RMG Ghana donated agricultural inputs worth GH?30,000 as well as a cheque of GH?15,000. The donated items included insecticides, fungicides, foliar fertilizers, bio-stimulants and granular fertilizers.
“Our aim is to provide good inputs… because the more we have food, the more we are assured of food security. So we always support the government to award our hard-working farmers and fisher folks,” Dela noted.
He highlighted challenges in the agricultural input market, especially the prevalence of fake products, and explained how RMG Ghana works to close that gap.
“We realise there are a lot of fake inputs in the system. Farmers are finding difficulty in getting the right ones.
“Our system ensures that we get true-to-type inputs to the doorstep of farmers so they get real value for their money.”
Dela also outlined the company’s operations: “we import and distribute agrochemicals, fertilizers, spraying equipment and hybrid seeds.
“We are the first company to bring the best hybrid seed into this country, including our Kaba Pride Lake seeds, which are currently the best on the market.”
Items donated included foliar fertilizers, bio-stimulants, insecticides such as Camas, calcium nitrate granular fertilizer, and other foliar blends like Synergic Foliar Mass and Protein.
The Minister of Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku expressed appreciation to both companies for their continuous support.
“We are happy to be here. We thank you for your generosity to such a good cause. We expect more to follow and we expect you to be part of the exhibition. Thank you very much and may God bless you all,” he said.
The ministry noted that corporate support remains crucial in celebrating and motivating farmers across the country as they prepare for the 2025 Farmers Day celebration.
