The Ministry of Food and Agriculture has received a high-level delegation from Ukraine as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen bilateral cooperation in the agricultural sector, with a focus on advancing mutual benefits under Ukraine’s “Food from Ukraine” initiative and Ghana’s flagship “Feed Ghana Programme.”

Welcoming the delegation, the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Hon. Eric Opoku, described the engagement as historic, highlighting its potential to support poverty reduction and strengthen food security in Ghana. He underscored the importance of the government’s flagship “Feed Ghana Programme”, which is driving food self-sufficiency and economic transformation.

The Minister also called for increased investment in key areas such as storage, processing, and value addition, while emphasizing the need for quality seeds to boost agricultural productivity.

Leading the Ukrainian delegation, Mr. Denys Bashlyk reaffirmed Ukraine’s commitment to supporting Ghana’s agricultural development. As part of this partnership, Ukraine will distribute five million seed packets to vulnerable farmers and is exploring the establishment of a wheat flour processing facility in Ghana.

The visit follows the signing of a Memorandum of Cooperation between Ghana and Ukraine in April 2026, aimed at enhancing collaboration in agriculture and ensuring food security.

The visit also coincides with the launch of a Food Processing and Distribution Centre (Agrohub) in Ghana on April 9, 2026.
