The Honourable MCE paid a working visit to the Irrigation Development Authority. He held a meeting with Farm Manager Mr. Bernard Mawudzro, to discuss strategies for improving farm operations and boosting productivity for the local farming community. A key focus of the discussion was the upcoming National Rice Festival planned for September, which is expected to bring national attention to the Region’s Rice Farming and for which planning committees will soon be established.

In preparation for the festival and to enhance farm security and visibility, the MCE donated Ten Streetlights to the management for immediate installation across the area, creating a safer environment for operations. This support also anticipates the arrival of Brazilian volunteers who will assist the farmers, underscoring the Assembly’s commitment to agricultural promotion and enhancing farmer livelihoods at the Weta Irrigation Scheme.
