The District Chief Executive for Amansie South of the Ashanti region has urged chiefs in the area to make lands available to farmers to increase their production.
According to Clement Opoku Gyamfi, releasing lands to the farmers is more profitable than to illegal miners who will degrade the lands with their activities.
