Anglogold Ashanti Ghana, Obuasi Mine has donated items worth GH¢122,120 to eight districts in the Ashanti Region in support of this year’s National Farmer’s Day celebrations.

The beneficiary districts include the Obuasi Municipal, Obuasi East, Adansi Asokwa, Adansi North, Adansi South, Adansi Akrofuom,  Amansie West and Bekwai Municipal.

In a short ceremony to present the items to Agric Directors of the beneficiary districts, the Senior Manager Sustainability, Anglogold Ashanti, Emmanuel Baidoo, said the annual gesture from the company forms part of the Agricultural Development Programme under their Social Management Plan, which was launched in 2019.

Again, Mr. Baidoo emphasised that the donation was to make agriculture attractive and motivate the youth to venture into farming  which, he said, is the mainstay of the economy of the country.
