The Agricultural Development Bank (ADB) PLC hosted the Annual National Farmers’ Cocktail on Monday evening at the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park, Accra, for the 2024 Award Winners and other key stakeholders within the agricultural sector, including government officials, Staff of ADB, and other sector players.
In a heartfelt address, Deputy Managing Director (DMD), Madam Eno Ofori-Atta, on behalf of Alhaji Alhassan Yakubu-Tali, the MD of ADB, emphasized the critical role that farmers and fishers play in ensuring food security and economic stability in the nation. “This is a very special evening for us to welcome and honors our distinguished, hardworking farmers and fishers,” DMD stated, commending their relentless dedication and contributions to the agricultural sector.
The event, held in the lead-up to the National Farmers’ Day celebrations, served as a platform for networking among stakeholders in agriculture, including policymakers, executives, and farmers. “Our continuous sponsorship of this programme,” Madam Eno Ofori-Atta noted, “is a testament to ADB’s commitment to supporting our gallant Farmers & Fishers and our founding mandate to provide financial intermediation to the agricultural sector.”
