The Chief Executive Officer of ADPL Farming Scheme, Mr John Lawer Tetteh, has cautioned farmers to be wary of unscrupulous individuals and organisations who are going round farming communities with a promise to provide agricultural inputs for farmers under suspicious arrangements. Speaking at a meeting with stakeholders at Krobo Odumase, Mr Tetteh advised those individuals and organisations to desist from luring the nation's farmers into scam organisations. The ADPL Farming Scheme provides farm support services such as farm spraying, spraying chemicals and equipment, farming tools, fertilisers, seedlings, tractor and financial services for farmers. Mr Tetteh's caution was in reaction to reports that some farmers around Suhum had been made to pay GH¢100 by an organisation with the promise of supplying them with vehicles but it never showed up again. Mr Tetteh decried the practice and called on the law enforcement agencies to do all they could to bring the perpetrators to book. He noted that farmers were a nation's most cherished assets and must be protected against all social vices. He said in spite of the fact that farmers made up about 65 per cent of Ghana's workforce, not much had been done to protect their interests and called on the public and the government to take steps to ensure that farmers did not fall prey to scam. Mr Tetteh assured all farmers in Ghana, especially those registered on the ADPL Scheme, of the scheme's continuous services and encouraged all farmers to register with the scheme.
