Police in the Volta Region have arrested three people. They are accused of smuggling fertilizer. The police said the fertilizer was subsidized.
The suspects were caught with 100 bags. These bags were intended for farmers in Ghana. Authorities intercepted them near the Kpando border.
The arrest happened on June 8, 2026. This operation was part of efforts to stop the illegal export of essential farming supplies.
Officials stated that smuggling these goods deprives local farmers. It also undermines government agricultural programs.
The arrested individuals are in police custody. Investigations are continuing to identify other possible links to this smuggling ring.
Authorities are urging the public to report any suspicious activities related to the movement of subsidized goods.
The Ghana Police Service confirmed the arrests and the seizure of the fertilizer. Further legal proceedings are expected.
