His Royal Majesty Togbe Afede XIV, Agbogbomefia of the Asogli State and President of the Asogli Traditional Area, chaired the 41st National Farmers Day celebration, bringing his voice and leadership to one of the most important events on Ghana’s agricultural calendar.

He encouraged stakeholders to bring new ideas on board and embrace innovation to strengthen the sector.
He noted that Ghana’s potential is vast, and the nation must invest in modern solutions, support farmers, and drive efficiency across the agricultural chain.
