Before the commencement of this program i preferred the “solo player” working ethics and was so full of individualism. But the few cup games/exercises helped me to understand the importance and impact of teamwork, and collaboration. It also helped me appreciate how significant the imperatives of planning and discipline are. Team wheat planned and executed the plan accordingly and eventually the outcome was justified.

Youth in Greenhouse Enterprise Project-(YUGEP)

YUGEP

It is envisaged that it will help increase the volume of vegetables available and significantly close price variations due to seasonality thereby reducing agricultural contribution to inflation, and reducing import of vegetables to Ghana.

Greenhouse Production in Ghana increased from about 1ha in 2008 to about 4ha in 2015-2017 to about 23ha in 2021. Ghana EXIM (GEXIM) Bank funded Greenhouses constitute 56% of all Greenhouses in Ghana and this can reduce tomato imports by 2% using tomato import from Burkina Faso as the reference.
