About 50 young women have received intensive training in broiler production under the Harnessing Agriculture Productivity and Prosperity for Youth (HAPPY) Program, a collaborative initiative between the Mastercard Foundation and Agri-Impact Limited.  

The trainees, mobilized by the National Service Authority (NSA), gathered at the NSA Farm in Papao, Haatso, for an intensive session on Tuesday, March 25, 2025. 

This latest cohort brings the total number of women trained in broiler production at the facility in the past two weeks to 80.

As part of efforts to enhance the effectiveness of the National Service Authority’s (NSA) role in the Harnessing Agricultural Productivity and Prosperity for Youth (HAPPY) Program, a strategic meeting was held with the leadership of Agri-Impact Limited, a leading agribusiness firm. 
 
HAPPY Program is a partnership between the Mastercard Foundation and Agri-Impact Limited with the focus of enabling job opportunities for 326,000 youth aged 15 to 35 in the poultry, tomato, rice and soya value chains.

Leading agribusiness firm, Agri-Impact Limited, on Monday spearheaded the consortium implementing the Harnessing Agricultural Productivity and Prosperity for Youth (HAPPY) Program in celebrating women making remarkable strides in agribusiness across Ghana and beyond.

Fresh Logistics recently hosted a high-level delegation from Demeter Ghana Limited, one of its agro-input suppliers, at its Dawhenya facility, strengthening ties for innovation in vegetable greenhouse production.

Demeter Ghana Limited is one of Ghana’s leading agricultural input and specialist service providers, trading nationwide in fertilizers, seeds, bio-protection products, inoculants, soil conditioners, and more.

The Chief Executive Officer of Agri-Impact Limited, Mr. Daniel Fahene Acquaye, has raised concerns over the budgetary allocation to the agricultural sector in the 2025 national budget saying it is very insufficient.

Speaking at the 2025 Budget Digest organized by PwC in Accra, he complained that the current allocation is inadequate to drive the economic transformation envisioned by the government.

Mr. Acquaye highlighted that out of the total GH¢279 billion budget, only GH¢1.5 billion—representing 0.54%—has been allocated to agriculture.
