WeComm Agri-media and Consultancy Limited has launched the first-ever agribusiness magazine in Ghana, “Agrigold Magazine.”
The magazine, which has an online news portal version, www.agrigoldmagazine.com, will provide simplified messages to people in the agriculture value chain.
A deputy minister for Food and Agriculture, Alhaji Mohammed Hardi Tufeirua, who launched the Magazine in Accra said Agrigold Magazine would play an important role in the implementation of the government’s flagship programme, Planting for Food and Jobs to make Ghana food and nutritionally secure by 2030.
He said the Magazine would bridge the information gap among players in the sector by highlighting all that was needed for one to engage in agriculture successfully.
“It will provide information on the necessary inputs to be used and marketing strategies to help farmers reap the full benefits of their labour.”
The General Manager of WeComm Agri-media and Consultancy Limited, Mr Edwin Narter, said there were a lot of opportunities in the agriculture sector and the Magazine would bring the information to the public to increase participation.
“Indeed, there is gold in Agriculture and Agrigold is the beginning towards harnessing this Gold,” he said.
“This magazine seeks to inform, educate and inspire the general public primarily in the field of agri-business by sharing very interesting live style articles of women or men in the business in simple language taking away all the technical terms to help farmers,” he added.
