Farmers say that there are more than 1 million metric tons of paddy rice lying unsold in warehouses and on farms nationwide
Under the terms of the MoU, the organisations will focus on scaling programs for smallholder farmers in soy, wheat, maize, and rice value chains in Nigeria.
The programme is set to train approximately 400 bakers within its first year, with plans for sustained annual growth.
Until now, the Ghanaian industry has been limited mainly to fertilizer blending units using imported products.
Ghana is importing rice despite milled rice production being forecasted to reach 900,000 metric tons this season.
