The Ministry of Food and Agriculture plans to begin selling foodstuff within its premises to serve people in Accra.
The food will be straight from the farm gate to reduce the price build-up on the items.
Speaking at a meeting with farmers in Sefwi Wiaso in the Western North Region, sector Minister Dr. Owusu Akoto Afriyie said “the ministry itself is going to take its own initiative.”
“We are going to link up with the farm gate so that we make all the arrangements to ensure that we put up kiosks on our compounds at the ministry, specifically for food from here [Sefwi Wiaso] and we are going to give it a lot of publicity,” the minister said.
Dr. Afriyie Akoto held that inflation was not a function of food shortages, but among other things, overpricing by traders.
