“Women, both the abled and physically challenged, are found in the processing, transporting, and sales of most agricultural products and can manage and curb excessive post-harvest losses.”

Mr. Patrick Akowuah

The event is designed to have a rotational venue from Region to Region annually, unearthing heroic women in each Region and ultimately supporting the building of solid and organic data of women who are passionately working to improve nutrition and make lives better by putting food on the table.

Executive Director of Agrihouse Foundation, Alberta Nana Akyaa Akosa Sarpong, noted that this year’s Gold in the Soil Awards has, for the 1st time in four years, received over 17 entries from women with disabilities, primarily from the Western and Western North Regions of Ghana.

“In total, 82 entries have been received for the 16 categories, under the Gold in the Soil Awards, which is slated to hold on the 23rd and 24th of June, 2022 at the Akroma Plaza Hotel, in Takoradi.”

Ms. Alberta Nana Akyaa Akosa Sarpong

Alberta opined this is very positive and represents the organization’s efforts over the past three years to encourage and push for an all-inclusive approach and to build and inspire more women farmers with disabilities to come out and be at the frontline in building community agriculture.

Women supporting women is ideal

The award would appreciate dedicated service in the agriculture sector by women who break barriers in commercial or small-scale farming, export, and provide livelihood support for other vulnerable women in their communities, says Alberta.

Mr. Samuel Tutu, who represented the Western Regional Minister at the Launch, was happy and said that such a move would enhance, recognize and support women’s contributions to the agricultural sector.

“I am happy that women support their fellow women in this direction”.

Mr. Tutu

Ms. Maribel Okine, the Western Regional Director of the Department of Gender, also noted how such economic empowerment plan would help to promote gender parity as well as alleviate poverty among women in particular.
