Receiving the fertiliser on behalf of the government were Minister for Foreign Affairs Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa and Deputy Minister of Food and Agriculture John Dumelo. The gesture, spearheaded by OCP Africa one of the world’s leading fertiliser producers is part of Morocco’s broader pan-African strategy to support sustainable agriculture.
Ambassador Ouaadil described the donation as a symbol of enduring solidarity, aligned with the vision of King Mohammed VI and President John Dramani Mahama. She expressed confidence that the fertiliser would significantly improve yields and support Ghana’s efforts to boost food production.
