Sustainable maize programme in North Ghana
The project aims to upscale a successful pilot maize programme in the North of Ghana. With this project the agricultural start-up cooperative Masara N’Arziki wants to achieve economy of scale and financial sustainability and to introduce environmental sustainable farming practices. The PPP consists of the project applicant West Africa Fair Fruit (WAFF), teaming up with the farmer association Masara N’Arziki, the private agricultural company Wienco Ghana Ltd, the Ghanas agricultural research institute SARI and one Dutch NGOs: Solidaridad, the Netherlands.
The goal is to increase the quantity and quality of sustainable maize production in the Northern regions of Ghana by strengthening the farmers’ cooperative Masara and through this providing capacity building on maize farming, conservation farming, and post-harvest losses.
