Government explores traditional land equity system to unlock large-scale farming

The Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry is introducing a land equity model aimed at improving investor access to farmland while reducing disputes between investors and local communities. Director for Agribusiness, Kwame Oppong-Ntim, on Joy FM's Super Morning Show as part of activities marking Agribusiness Month, says the approach, being piloted in the Yeji traditional area, involves traditional authorities contributing land as equity in agribusiness ventures.
