The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), has presented warehouses to two Farmer Based Cooperatives (FBCs) in the Yendi Municipality of the Northern region.

The support is to help address problems associated with inadequate storage and post-harvest losses confronting farmers in the area.

The beneficiary Cooperatives were the Yendi Taganoba Tibiganso Co-operative Farmers and Marketing Union Limited, with more than one thousand small-holder farmers and the Zang Mangbanyini Viella Co-operative Food Farming and Marketing Society Limited with about 20 members.

The presentation formed part of the KOICA’s “Capacity Development of Farmer-Based Cooperatives and Organization (FBCs/FBOs) in Northern Ghana Project”, that sought to build capacities of smallholder farmers to promote sustainable agriculture as means of ensuring food security and economic growth.
