Fertilizer subsidies
Fertilizer subsidies a priority for boosting agriculture and a way of alleviating poverty
Agriculture is a backbone of many countries, but proper attention is not given to agricultural sectors in developing countries.
Politics is one of the factors that hinder agricultural development in Africa. In Ghana, farmers find it very difficult to raise some money to buy subsidised fertilizers and other inputs. I therefore urged NGOs to liaise with the agricultural sector to provide farmers with inputs free of charge. This is the way to support poor farmers to raise their standards of living.
