MP supports farmers in Krachi East with agrochemicals

Michael Yaw Gyato, Member of Parliament (MP) for Krachi East Constituency in the Oti Region has distributed over 60,000 cartons of agrochemicals to farmers in the Constituency.

He said the agrochemicals were estimated at GH¢98,400,00 and procured through the One- Million Dollar per Constituency programme, initiated by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

Mr. Gyato said because the people were predominantly farmers, it was imperative to give them needed support with farm inputs that would help boost their farming activities.

The Member of Parliament admonished the famers not to politicize the gesture and also called on them to guard against vote buying in this electioneering year.

He urged them to ensure proper application of the chemicals to get good yield - harvest more to generate income for themselves and also to reduce the country's food import bill.

The beneficiaries said they were grateful to the MP for his continuous strong support and promised to correctly apply the chemicals to achieve the intended purposes.

They told the Ghana News Agency that the chemicals could not have come at a better time because farming activities had started.
