Peasant Farmers reject grain export ban

Honoring Ghana's Farmers: National Farmers' Day 2024 to emphasize climate resilience and sustainability

Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

By: Nana Antwi Boasiako

The Peasant Farmers Association has expressed strong disapproval over the government’s recent decision to ban the export of essential grains, including maize, rice, and soybean. This move, announced by Minister for Food and Agriculture Bryan Acheampong, aims to ensure national food security amidst the severe dry spell affecting eight regions.

However, the association has voiced concern over the ban, which they believe may have unintended consequences on their livelihoods. The government’s directive seeks to safeguard domestic food supplies, but the peasant farmers argue that it may not be the most effective solution.

President of the Peasant Farmers Association, Bismark Owusu Nortey has criticized the government’s decision to ban grain exports without consulting key stakeholders, including farmers. He argued that farmers’ input is crucial in finding a sustainable solution to the current challenges.

Nortey explained that the ban will disrupt the natural market dynamics, where prices are determined by demand and supply. Instead, farmers will be forced to sell their produce at low prices to avoid spoilage, potentially leading to significant losses. He emphasized that the government’s decision disregards the farmers’ interests and neglects their role in the agricultural sector.
