Rice farmers who belong to the Peasant Farmers Association of Ghana (PFAG) in the five regions of the north have appealed to the government to put in place mechanisms to ensure that local rice farmers are consulted in the move to resolve issues concerning local rice production and marketing. Rice farmers are confronted with lack of access to combine harvesters, lack of storage and exploitation by traders. Ghanaian farmers have proven their ability to produce enough rice to meet domestic consumption. This is manifested by the drastic increase in rice production in 2019 of which greater quantities were destroyed due to lack of harvesting equipment and guaranteed market Unfortunately, only 34 per cent of Ghanaians consume Ghana rice, while 680, 000 tonnes of rice costing $500 million is imported annually.
