Agribusiness Given a Major Boost in Ghana

Agribusiness major boost

The desire to make agriculture/agribusiness attractive to the Ghanaian youth has been given a major boost by Ghana Export-Import Bank (GEXIM) under the Youth in Greenhouse Enterprise Project (YUGEP). YUGEP seeks to boost the production of high-quality vegetables and create 400 direct and over 600 indirect jobs thus, reducing importation of vegetables, reducing unemployment, and contributing to stabilizing inflation.

“Besides offering agriculture at both S.H.S and Tertiary, I never imagined myself working in the agriculture field. I was more interested in technology and believed it to be the future. However, after enhancing my skills in programming and other IT areas through online courses and bootcamps, I didn't have a clear path as to what to do with these skills.
