In Assin North, Assin South and Gomoa East, training courses have been provided for farmers, extension agents and agrochemical dealers in an attempt to combat the misuse, abuse and misapplication of agrochemicals in Ghana’s central region. By increasing the awareness of different value chain participants about Ghana’s Plants and Fertilizer Act, the project has increased the capacity of participants to use and sell agrochemicals judiciously, which will safeguard human health and the environment.
