Last year, the African Agribusiness Consortium Ltd. (AAC) launched the AAC Youth Farmers Initiative, a programme aimed at empowering young people to participate meaningfully in agriculture. Through this initiative, AAC served as the anchor farmer and worked with 37 young farmers, most of whom are women.Under the programme, AAC provided input support, mechanization services, and technical guidance throughout the production cycle. AAC also served as the offtaker, ensuring that the rice produced had a reliable market.AAC expresses sincere appreciation to the Millennium Development Authority (MiDA) for the opportunity to implement this project and support youth participation in agricultural production.The farmers successfully harvested their rice in February this year, and today the rice produced under the initiative has been milled, packaged, and is ready to serve communities.As we approach Eid ul-Fitr, AAC extends warm wishes to our Muslim brothers and sisters for a peaceful and blessed celebration.We encourage everyone to support these young farmers by patronizing AAC rice, as every purchase contributes to strengthening local agriculture and empowering youth.#YouthInAgriculture #FoodSecurity #Agribusiness #SupportLocal #WomenInAgriculture #EidMubarak #Ghana #AAC
