This year's National Farmers' Day celebration will be held on December 7, a statement from the Ministry of Food and Agriculture said on Tuesday.

The statement signed by Mr F. Apeagyei, Special Adviser to the Minister, said it would take place as an integral part of AGRIFEX 2001, the first Ghana International Food and Agriculture Trade fair to be held from December 3-9.

The fair is being organised by the Ministry of Food and Agriculture in association with the Ghana Trade Fair Company.

The statement said several individuals, companies and organisations have been invited to take part. They include farmers, processors, bankers, marketing agents, researchers and florists.

They will showcase Ghana's agricultural opportunities in order to chart a path for the future development of the agricultural sector under the slogan "Grow what we eat, eat what we can and can what we cannot."
