Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Naa Sulley Saaka, Chief of Voggu in the Kumbungu Traditional Area of the Northern Region, has urged stakeholders to support women, who are into agriculture and other agribusiness.<\/b><\/p>\n

He said it was important, especially for traditional authorities in the country to prioritise allocating enough land for women interested in farming to enhance nutrition and food security.<\/p>\n

He made the call in an interview on the sidelines of an exhibition and fair forum in Tamale.<\/p>\n

Naa Saaka said when women were given the needed support, they would contribute significantly towards revamping the agricultural sector for socio-economic development.<\/p>\n

He said as part of measures to encourage women\u2019s participation in agriculture in his area, he ensured that every woman was given a mandatory one acre of land for farming.<\/p>\n

He added that he was currently collaborating with his elders to ensure that women in the area had more land to enable them to fully engage in commercial farming.<\/p>\n

He urged other traditional leaders in the country to prioritise allocating more land for women interested in agriculture in their communities, to help address poverty and malnutrition.<\/p>\n
