Anthony Morrison, the Chief Executive Officer of the Chamber of Agribusiness Ghana, has called for the nation to create a special reserve for fertilisers. He also wants a national seed bank established.
Morrison explained that these reserves are needed to protect Ghana's agriculture. Global supply problems and rising costs for fertilisers can harm local farmers.
He spoke about these issues on March 9, 2026. Ghana currently relies heavily on importing fertilisers.
Having a national reserve would give the country more control. It could help ensure farmers have access to fertilisers even when the world market faces challenges.
A seed bank would also be important. It would store important seeds for future farming needs. This helps preserve crop diversity and ensures planting materials are available.
Morrison believes these steps are crucial for the long-term safety and success of Ghana's agricultural sector.
