He added that the company is currently undertaking a number of capacity build projects in the Districts.For his part, the Western Regional Coordinating Director, Mr David Yaro, said Kosmos Energy last year supported with similar items which were presented to the 2011 Best Fisherman in the Region which happens to be the biggest for the best for the best in the selected category.The coordinating director said there could not be a successful farmers’ day celebration without corporate support for a meaningful prizes for the country’s gallant farmers.“We have sent about 80 letters to corporate bodies in the region but none of them had responded to the call for support, therefore, we are very grateful to Kosmos Ghana for the support,” he said.He said the donation demonstrated the company considered the fishing community as very important stakeholders and deemed it necessary to be part of the celebration and appeal to other companies to support.The Deputy Regional Director of Agriculture, Mr Emmanuel Sasu also commended the company for the support and promptly supporting the programme.
