Rice

The three-year project seeks to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly methane, from rice cultivation.

Ghana is importing rice despite milled rice production being forecasted to reach 900,000 metric tons this season.

A 50 kg bag of local rice currently sells between US$43 and US$53, up from US$30 to US$36 just two months ago.

Farmers opposed the decision, citing that it would affect the local produce.

The initiative aims to modernise the entire rice value chain by integrating digital tools that improve efficiency, transparency, and farmer support.
