The Technical Advisor of a newly formed political party, the Black Progress Party (BPP), has bracketed commercial agriculture as the catalyst for Ghana’s economic revival and sustenance.
According to him, pragmatic agricultural practices have the magic wand to place Ghana at competing levels with developed countries.

Speaking to the media, Kojo Anokye Kankam said the current economic management models lack the fortitude to transform the economy without massive investment in the agricultural sector.

He pledged that a future BPP government would revolutionise agriculture to increase production and position Ghana as the prime exporter of food commodities.

“Black Progressive Party, our main agenda is to control food, to make Ghana Green. Make Ghana an industrialised nation and the most beautiful nation on the planet. When we are voted into power, we will abolish the importation of fertiliser, weedicide and Genetically Modified Organisms, GMOs. Though there is a global warfare between Africans and the rest of the world, no African country has come to the realisation that the western world is using farm inputs GMOs to fight Africans” Kojo Anokye Kankam indicated.

The Technical Advisor also proposed the reintroduction of a modernised state farming system. According to him, this will facilitate government funding and improved technology.

He said “Our module of agriculture would be state funded. We will facilitate the establishment of state farms. The government must not leave all these responsibilities to citizens. The state must finance agriculture and ensure profit sharing. Chiefs, landowners, farmers, and their stakeholders will benefit from the proceeds of agriculture”.

He further announced a mammoth ambition to abolish the importation of all food commodities by the end of the first tenure of a Black Progressive Party, BPP, and government.
“We will make sure Ghana seizes the importation of all food commodities including meat products. We will sustain the local production of all the food we consume”.

Kojo Anokye Kankam is a Ghanaian based in the United States of America and one of the leading members of a newly formed political party, the Black Progressive Party, BPP.

He had his early education in Ghana before moving to the United States of America. He is currently a bus driver’s trainer in the United States of America and has over seventeen years of experience.
