Agri-Impact Limited has announced a partnership with the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) to deliver accredited short courses focused on equipping young people with practical skills for the job market.

Deputy CEO of Agri-Impact, Mrs. Juliana Asante-Dartey, disclosed the collaboration at the company’s Dinner and Awards Night, which climaxed the week-long Wrap-Up of the Young Agribusiness Professionals Program (YAPP).

Public and private sector firms have been urged to stop assigning national service personnel (NSPs) menial tasks and instead provide them with the skills, mentorship and hands-on training they need to contribute meaningfully to national development.

The call was made by Daniel Fahene Acquaye, Group Chief Executive Officer of Agri-Impact Limited, who warned that the country risks weakening its human capital potential if companies continue to overlook the value of young graduates entering the workforce.

The Rijk Zwaan West African Field Days, held on September 9–10, 2025, in Cotonou, Benin, brought together growers, farmers, and agricultural experts to showcase innovative vegetable seed varieties and promote sustainable farming solutions.

Fresh Logistics’ Enterprise Development Managers, Mr. Kelvin Essuman Quansah and Mr. Francis Tettey, attended the event and gained valuable insights into modern agricultural practices that will further strengthen their expertise and improve production outcomes.

President John Dramani Mahama on Friday, September 12, 2025, visited the National Service Authority’s poultry farm at Papao, Haatso in Accra.

The visit offered the President an opportunity to gain first-hand information about the Authority’s poultry facility and the impressive work being carried out there.

In his remarks, President Mahama announced that procurement processes were already underway to establish multiple poultry processing facilities across the country, with the National Service Authority expected to benefit from these facilities.

Mr. Daniel Fahene Acquaye, CEO of Agri-Impact Group and a leading agribusiness expert, has urged African youth to take bold steps into agribusiness and agricultural technology (agritech) as a pathway to wealth creation, job opportunities, food security, and sustainable livelihoods across the continent.

He made this call while addressing the Africa Youth Conference 2025, organized by The Apostolic Church-Ghana at its Resource, Conference, and Retreat Centre in Frafraha, Accra. The conference, themed “Fired Up,” ran from August 25 to 31.

In Sang, a community in the Mion District of the Northern Region, young women are finding new opportunities to build dignified livelihoods through the Harnessing Agricultural Productivity and Prosperity for Youth (HAPPY) Program.

The initiative, a partnership between the Mastercard Foundation and Agri-Impact Limited and implemented by an eight-member consortium including Jobberman Ghana, is equipping young women—already engaged in agriculture—with additional skills in bead-making, sandal design, bakery, weaving, and soya drink processing. 

In the quiet farming community of Gudaayiri in the Wa East District of the Upper West Region, a young farmer, Iddrisu Aminu, is redefining what it means to be a changemaker.

For years, Aminu tilled the land—growing soybeans, maize, rice, and yams to sustain his family and support his community. Yet beyond the fields, he carried a vision that reached far past planting and harvesting.

That vision found wings when he joined the Harnessing Agricultural Productivity and Prosperity for Youth (HAPPY) Program through the Catholic Relief Services (CRS).

Hamdiya Buyeke joined the Harnessing Agricultural Productivity and Prosperity for Youth (HAPPY) Project in 2024 after a community sensitization session in her community in the Sissala West District of the Upper West Region.

She is a resident of Nyentie in the Sissala West District and an active member of a CRS-supported SILC group.
