Ghana today marks the 41st National Farmers’ Day, a national celebration dedicated to honouring the hardworking farmers and fishers whose daily efforts keep the country fed and fuel its rural economy.
The 2025 celebration officially began on Monday, December 1, with the opening of the National Agricultural Fair at the Ho Sports Stadium. The fair, which attracted thousands of farmers, agribusiness innovators, researchers, investors, and policymakers, set the stage for a full week of exhibitions and knowledge-sharing.
This year’s theme — “Feed Ghana, Eat Ghana, Secure the Future” — highlights the country’s renewed focus on food security, agricultural innovation, and long-term sustainability. Exhibitors are showcasing modern technologies, climate-smart solutions, and improved farming systems designed to boost productivity and strengthen Ghana’s food value chain.
Later today, President John Dramani Mahama is expected to present national awards to the most outstanding farmers, fishers, and agricultural professionals across multiple categories. These include crop production, livestock, fisheries, agro-processing, innovation, and community development.
Thousands of Ghanaians across the country will also join regional and district-level celebrations where deserving farmers will be recognised for their contribution to local and national food security.
Instituted in 1985, Farmers’ Day remains one of Ghana’s most important national events, paying tribute to the men and women whose dedication keeps the country’s food systems running and supports millions of livelihoods.
As Ghana celebrates this year’s milestone, the focus remains on strengthening agriculture, improving resilience, and creating a future where farming continues to drive national growth.
