Brazil has approved Ghana’s request for the
supply of equipment to mechanise the country’s agricultural sector.
This follows a meeting in Brasilia between
Vice President John Dramani Mahama and Mr Pepe Vargas, Minister of Agrarian
Development of Brazil.
These were contained in a statement issued
from the Office of the Vice President in Accra on Wednesday, copied to the
Ghana News Agency (GNA).
Mr Vargas told Vice President Mahama that
Brazil, in line with her earlier commitments, was ready to provide funds for
the supply of Brazilian agricultural machinery and equipment to Ghana.
The farm tractors, boom sprayers, planters,
water pumps, threshers, reapers, harvesters among others that will be supplied
by Brazil is aimed at promoting Ghana’s agricultural sector through
mechanisation.
The Ministries of Food and Agriculture and
Finance and Economic Planning are expected to validate the prices and terms of
financing by the end of next week, for confirmation by the Brazilian
Government.
Vice President Mahama explained that once the
processes were completed, Cabinet would discuss the details for approval and
laying before Parliament for consideration.
