The CEO of Yedent Agro Group of Companies and NAPLE Betta Farms, Samuel Ntim, has praised the Harnessing Agricultural Productivity and Prosperity for Youth (HAPPY) Program for its vital role in revitalizing Ghana's poultry sector, especially broiler production.
 
According to Ntim, the HAPPY Program—a Mastercard Foundation initiative in partnership with leading agribusiness firm Agri-Impact Limited—has, for the first time, enabled consistent broiler production for the Ghanaian market. Previously, the country relied heavily on imports to meet its growing demand for poultry.

The e-HAPPY project is poised to revolutionize the agricultural sector, empowering youth with cutting-edge skills and expertise to drive growth, productivity, and prosperity. Marking a significant milestone in Ghana's agricultural transformation, the e-HAPPY project successfully launched its inaugural welcome and orientation meeting for its pioneering cohort of e-Agri-preneurs and Coding and Front-End Developers (COFED) training under the Harnessing Agricultural Prosperity and Productivity for Youth (HAPPY) Program.

The Mastercard Foundation in partnership with Agri-Impact Limited has rolled out an ambitious and transformative program dubbed Harnessing Agricultural Productivity and Prosperity for Youth (HAPPY) to be implemented by eight Implementing Partners including NewAge Agric Solutions, National Service Scheme (NSS), Ghana Cares (MiDA), Ghana Enterprises Agency (GEA), Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MOFA), TechnoServe, Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and Jobberman.
