MoFA calls for compensation for farmers affected by dengue fever

The Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA) urges compensation for farmers hit by a dengue fever outbreak in Ghana's Eastern and Central regions.

With 36 cases reported, affected farmers in several districts face challenges.

MoFA suggests providing farming inputs and grants to help them recover and support food security.

Hajia Habiba Yussufu emphasized the broader impact of health issues on agriculture at the launch of the Eastern Commodity Satellite Market Fair, citing past government support for farmers during crises like the Akosombo Dam spillover and COVID-19.
