The Upper East Regional Minister, Mr Mark Woyongo, has toured some dry season farms in the region to acquaint himself with on-going farming activities in the area. The region last year cultivated some food crops which agricultural experts put as one of the best crop seasons for the region in recent times. The trip was also a follow up to projects government has initiated as part of policies to open up the area following the intended implementation of Savannah Accelerated Development Authority (SADA) in the region. Among the places Mr Woyongo visited were the Ministry of Food Agricultural (MOFA) warehouse in Bolgatanga where 5,048 foundation seedlings are being prepared for farmers to nurse and transplant. Briefing the Minister, the Regional Plant Protection and Regulatory Service Officer at MOFA, Mr Sylvester Logo, said if the preparations of the seeds go well, about 10,000 bags would be realized to be transplanted on about 132.4 hectares of land.
