Ghana:  MoFA outlines dry spell mitigation measures

The Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MOFA) has asked farmers in some parts of the country experiencing inadequate rains to suspend on a number of agricultural prac­tices, as a mitigation strategy against the situation.

Until sufficient rainfall occurs, the Ministry says the affected farmers should sus­pend activities such as “spraying of weedicides, application of fertiliser, planting of crops, and harvesting of yams.”
