As part of modernizing Agriculture and making agriculture attractive to the youth and graduates, the NEIP is embarking on the biggest Greenhouse Estate in Africa with 75 greenhouse domes at the Dawhenya irrigation site in the Greater Accra Region.

 “We plan to build more greenhouses across the sixteen (16) regions of Ghana to provide more jobs through the greenhouse project,” said the CEO of NEIP, Kofi Ofosu Nkansah.
