Ghana Builds Farm Service Center to Help 2,334 Families

Farmers in Ghana's Oti Region are getting a game-changing resource that could transform how they grow and sell their crops.

The Kadjebi District is building a Farmer Service Centre in Titiaka, putting tractors, harvesters, fertilizers, and improved seeds within reach of local farming families. The facility will also offer storage space and direct support from agricultural experts.

District Chief Executive Dr. Alhaji Sam Issaka Suraj announced the progress at a recent assembly meeting, confirming that contractors are already on site and work is moving forward steadily. Kadjebi earned its spot as one of only 11 districts selected nationwide for the program.

The center addresses a critical need in the predominantly farming community. Many rural farmers struggle to access modern equipment and quality inputs, forcing them to rely on outdated methods that limit their harvests and income.

Beyond the service center, the district is tackling other essential needs. Three new classrooms now stand in Yadzo, and five new water boreholes bring clean drinking water to communities including Ampeyo and Kpando Kofe.

The district recently validated 5,000 households for the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty program. Of those reviewed, 2,334 families qualified for enrollment based on their circumstances and the district's allocation.

Schools across Kadjebi also received 600 student desks, 300 kindergarten chairs, and 60 pieces of furniture for teachers. The equipment went directly to the District Education Directorate for distribution to classrooms facing furniture shortages.

The Ripple Effect

When farmers gain reliable access to modern tools and quality seeds, entire communities benefit. Better harvests mean more income for families, which flows into local businesses and schools. The storage facilities will help farmers preserve crops longer and avoid losses during market downturns.

The center's agricultural extension services will teach sustainable practices that can increase yields season after season. As farming productivity rises in Titiaka, neighboring communities will likely see similar investments in their own infrastructure.

With construction moving forward and families already counting on the support, Kadjebi is building more than a service center. They're cultivating hope.
