Ketu North MP Hosts Key Agricultural Tour to Unlock Rice Value Chain Potential

Hon. Edem Agbana, Member of Parliament for Ketu North, recently guided Kojo Akoto Boateng on a focused tour of the constituency, centred on one of its most promising assets: rice production. Their shared goal was clear to map out sustainable market pathways for the rice grown by local farmers and to begin shaping a practical, agriculture-focused investment profile that can attract serious partners to the area.

The visit proved far more than a formal walkthrough. Both men spent time examining how modern technology can ease everyday farming tasks, raise yields, and open better opportunities for the men and women who cultivate rice across Ketu North. Kojo Akoto Boateng was notably impressed by the quality of the grain produced locally, a point that reinforced the constituency’s competitive edge if the right support systems are put in place.

In frank discussions, the two explored deliberate policy steps the government can take to ease the persistent challenges facing farmers and to unlock the full potential of the agricultural value chain. These were not abstract exchanges; they focused on concrete ideas, possible partnerships, and solutions that can strengthen local economies and create real opportunities for residents.

Ketu North clearly possesses significant untapped potential. Hon. Agbana and his guest left the tour determined to convert that potential into measurable progress for the constituency’s rice farmers and the wider community.
