The Member of Parliament for North Tongu and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has announced a new agricultural support programme that will provide free fertilisers, seedlings and other farm assistance to more than 5,000 farmers in the constituency.

The minister disclosed the initiative in a post on his official social media page, describing it as part of efforts to increase food production and improve the livelihoods of farmers across North Tongu.

According to Mr Ablakwa, the intervention comes shortly after the distribution of freezers to women traders at the Juapong Market on July 17, which was aimed at supporting local trading activities.
