Agribusiness entrepreneurs must verify land availability from District Agric Offices before venturing into farming

The CEO of Count on Crops Enyonam Manye has advised individuals looking to venture into Agribusiness to visit their local District Agriculture Office as their first step before investing in any arable land.

Speaking during the introductory episode of the JoyBusiness Masterclass Agribusiness Series yesterday August 8, 2024, Manye emphasised the importance of this precautionary measure to protect investments and avoid future legal disputes.

“The District Agric Office in the community knows the farmers, they know the families, they know the lands with litigation issues so don’t just follow anyone to buy land and lose your investment,” she cautioned.

Manye also highlighted the significance of understanding regional crop viability before entering crop production in Ghana. She encouraged agribusiness entrepreneurs to thoroughly research and know which crops thrive in specific regions to make informed decisions.

“Our climate is good, all that you need to know is which region grows what before venturing into Agribusiness. Know what crop is best for Volta Region, know what you can do in the Central Region, and know what to do in the Northern Region. Do your research before deciding on what to grow where,” she advised.

The Joy Business Masterclass 13 Week Series on agribusiness commenced on Joy FM on August 7, 2024.

The first edition featured the CEO of Count on Crops Hub, Enyonam Manye. Talking about the basic steps to start agribusiness, she highlighted the viability of the sector to the economy as a whole, and households in particular.
