SUMMARY OF KEY ACHIEVEMENTS & OUTLOOK FOR 2025 Introduction Government is committed to promoting sustainable agriculture and agribusiness through strategic policies and investments in research, extension services, and technology. Over the years the agricultural sector has experienced many challenges including low production, low productivity, food losses, limited markets, and poor access to credit, among others. This is the result of low investment in agricultural infrastructure and the entire value chain leading to food insecurity, high food inflation and huge food import bill. The Agriculture for Economic Transformation Agenda (AETA) will be the driving force on modernizing agriculture and promoting agri-business to ensure food security, reduce food inflation, boost exports, and create sustainable jobs. The AETA will be implemented through the following broad programmes namely: Feed Ghana; Feed Industry and Agriculture Infrastructure Development programmes. Feed Ghana Flagship Programme Under the Agriculture for Economic Transformation Agenda (AETA), the ministry will roll out the “Feed Ghana Program” flagship programme to mobilize human and technical resources to boost agricultural production in strategic crops and livestock. The programme will also ensure the participation of institutions such as schools, Faith-based organizations, security agencies and other public institutions in food production. Home gardening will also be promoted among households across the country. Under the Feed Ghana Programme (FGP), the national fertilizer subsidy programme will be reintroduced to boost food production and reduce food inflation. Further, the ministry will roll out the Transformational Grains Development (TGD) Project, to prioritize the production of maize, rice, soya and sorghum; the Roots and Tubers Development Project (RTDP) for cassava, plantain and yam; the Vegetable Development Project-‘YƐREDUA’ (VDP) for tomato, pepper, onion and others; the Livestock Development Project (LDP) for small ruminants and the “Poultry Farm to Table” and “Nkoko Nketenkete” Projects. In line with the vision to streamline agricultural activities for greater productivity and better returns on investment, the ministry will establish Farmers’ Service Centres, creating a one-stop hub for affordable agricultural services, machinery, equipment, and new technologies. In 2025, the ministry will establish 50 units of these Service Centres in all regions to support farmers with modern agriculture equipment, technologies and inputs in agricultural districts. Technical and financial support will be provided for farmers to promote large-scale farming to increase yield and agro-processing. In addition, the ministry will strengthen the technical capacities of machinery operators on effective management, maintenance and operating of agricultural machinery in all the centres. 8 2025 BUDGET ESTIMATES Feed Industry The Feed Industry Programme seeks to boost the production of local raw materials to ensure a consistent and sufficient supply of high-quality agricultural produce for industrial use. This is to wean-off processors from importation of raw materials and contribute to job creation for the teaming youth. Agriculture Infrastructure Development Agriculture Infrastructure Development focuses on provision of irrigation facilities, silos and warehouses to ensure all year round production and post-harvest management. PROGRAMME 2.0 CROPS AND LIVESTOCK DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME Sub-programme 2.1 Productivity Improvement In 2024, Government’s intervention in the grains sub-sector emphasized the distribution of support to victims of the Akosombo dam spillage, support to victims of the dry spell in northern savannah and the transition zones of the country, the implementation of input credit under the Planting for Food and Jobs phase two (PFJ 2.0) and related investments. Under the PFJ 2.0 Input Credit System and Disaster Support, Government procured a total of 180,625.4MT of organic and inorganic fertilizers, 7,553MT of various seeds 381,154 litres of weedicides and 744,000litres of agrochemicals and distributed to 344,930 farmers nationwide in three beneficiary categories namely: Input Credit System beneficiaries, Akosombo Flood Victims relief support and to non-flood beneficiaries. In 2025, government under the Transformational Grains Development Project will procure and distribute 4,000MT of maize seeds, 10,000MT of rice seeds, 2,000MT of soybean seeds and 200MT of sorghum seeds. For fertilizers, the ministry will procure 140,000MT of NPK, 60,000MT of Urea, 1,000MT of liquid organic fertilizer and 2,000 units of 25Kg bags of granular organic fertilizers for distribution to farmers. This is expected to increase maize production by 30 percent, rice by 19 percent, soya by 40 percent and sorghum by 9 percent in the short term. Root and Tuber Development Project In line with the quest to increase production of root and tuber crops, the Root and Tuber Development Project (RTDP) will be implemented simultaneously with other projects, and government will procure 3 million cassava bundles, 7.5 million plantain suckers and 1 million yam setts for distribution to farmers in 2025. Vegetable Development Project (‘YƐREDUA’) In response to the growing import bill of vegetables in the country, government will under the Vegetable Development Project, supply 5MT of tomato seeds, 3MT of pepper seeds and 30MT of onion seeds to farmers. Additionally, government will distribute various fertilizers comprising 9,375MT of Potassium Nitrate, 6,250MT of Calcium Nitrate, 6,000MT of compost, 200MT of Stress Enhancers and 200MT of Neem Oil to support vegetable production across the country. In addition, Government will develop green houses and other modern infrastructure for controlled-environment farming and provide technical support for existing urban and peri-urban vegetable farmers. Livestock Development Project As part of efforts to expand the performance of livestock in the country, government will rehabilitate livestock structures and office facilities at 7 National Livestock Breeding Stations, restock these 9 2025 BUDGET ESTIMATES livestock breeding stations with small ruminants to at least 50% capacity from the current level of below 15%. Government will revamp the Amrahia Dairy Farm. Government will also improve the quality control of Honey to guarantee re-entry into the EU market. In line with this vision, government will procure equipment for residue deposit testing in honey. The ministry will train 15 laboratory staff for use of the equipment, rehabilitate and equip 6 veterinary laboratories and clinics with laboratory equipment and vaccines to enhance veterinary service delivery and diagnostics. “Poultry Farm to Table” Project As at 2022, Ghana was only able to produce less than 5 percent of its national demand for poultry products and had to rely on imports to meet consumer demand. As a result, Government in 2024 procured 7.3-million-day-old chicks and 52 million doses of vaccines and supplied to 9 anchor Poultry farmers with 420 out-growers. Government also procured 10,000 battery cages to support vulnerable women in poultry farming. Government is determined to reduce the importation of chicken through the “Poultry Farm to Table” Project. In 2025 Government under the poultry commercialization policy, will support 30 anchor farmers with 24 million-day old chicks, feed and vaccines to raise broiler chicken to increase national meat production and improve nutritional status of households in the country. Under the “Nkoko Nketenkete” Project, government will procure 1 million Kuroilers for distribution to 55,000 households to increase income of farmers and to meet the country’s meat requirement. To encourage women in animal production, 4,000 women poultry farmers will be supported with poultry battery cages, layer pullets and poultry feed. Ghana Tree Crops Diversification Project (GTCDP) Ghana’s Palm Industry (‘RED GOLD’) The palm oil industry deserves critical attention because of the huge imbalance between production and consumption. Ghana consumes 250,000 metric tons of palm oil annually. However, annual production is estimated at 50,000 metric tons leading to the huge food import bill which is currently at US$ 2 billion. To address these challenges, government will develop the national palm oil industry policy to offer incentives for the growth of palm and develop the entire value chain of the palm oil industry. Government will also provide 1.5 million oil palm seedlings to farmers and encourage them to actively participate in out-grower palm plantation schemes. Other Tree Crops In addition to the specific interventions in oil palm, Government will promote the commercialization of Cashew, Coconut and Rubber under the Ghana Tree Crops Diversification Project (GTCDP) to boost foreign exchange earnings and increase farmer income. In 2025, Government under the GTRDP will procure and supply 5,070,000 seedlings of which cashew is (2,000,000), rubber is (1,650,000) and coconut is (1,420,000) for distribution to farmers across the country. Additionally, 2 10 2025 BUDGET ESTIMATES million seedlings of which Shea is (500,000) and mango is (1,500,000) will be procured for distribution to famers to boost tree crops production. The programme is expected to reach out to 500,000 tree crops farmers in 2025. Cotton Development The cotton industry has virtually collapsed due to consistent low investment. The regulatory body - Ghana Cotton Development Authority (CDA) is non -functional with skeletal staff and no office accommodation. Government will revamp this industry by:  Resourcing the Cotton Development Authority through the provision of office accommodation and other logistics  Passage of the ACT that established the Cotton Development Authority. Shea, Better Farming. In 2025, the shea industry will witness a big boost through an injection of huge capital to build capacity of producers and processors along the shea value chain. This will lead to increase production, employment and incomes. Sub-programme 2.2 Mechanization, Irrigation & Water Management In 2024, government commenced the construction of Irrigation land development under phase 1 of the Afram Plains Economic Enclave Irrigation Project (APEEIP), the rehabilitation of irrigable area at the Vea Irrigation Scheme and development of Phase 3 of the Tamne Irrigation Scheme for vegetable production. Additionally, contracts for twelve (12) small earth dams for irrigation at Kpadigna, Cherele, Tawochele, Kukparigu, Benataba, Siniesi Kasa, Nanton Kurugu, Zoggu, Zokuga, Janjori Kukoo, Kugpeila and the rehabilitation of Sahkpaliga Irrigation Dam, were awarded and at various levels of completion. Other irrigation facilities awarded for construction includes the construction of canals and irrigable land development for six completed small earth dam sites at Kataa, Sangbaa, Gilang, Tousal/Jeyiri, Kpalbutabu, Duadinyediga in the savannah zone and the drilling of 554 solar powered boreholes with pump houses. Under the 24-hour economy, modern irrigation systems will be established under the Irrigation for Wealth Creation to ensure all-year-round crop and livestock production. Government recently launched the Irrigation for Wealth Creation Project, aiming to fully harness the country’s irrigation potential for all-year-round agriculture and feed agro-processing industries. Government has commenced feasibility studies for the construction of pump and pivot irrigation facilities at Vakpo in North Dayi District and Zigbe/Kpando-fesi in the Volta Region, Kamikrom/Duoboni/Bumbula and Katanga/Owankwae in Oti Region, Enyan in Ejumaku-Enyan-Essiam in Central Region. The rest are Wiema in West Mamprusi in North East Region, Blajai (Suruku) in Kpandai Northern Region, Lonto in Savannah Region and Kugzua/Zule in Garu in the Upper East Region. Additionally, studies are also being conducted on 25 sites in strategic communities for construction of small earth dams with gravity irrigation systems to serve the multi-purpose of all-year crop production, animal watering, fishing and in some cases portable water supply for domestic consumption. The following communities have been earmarked for immediate feasibility studies; Noberkaw, Sankore, Asibirem and Dantano in the Asunafo South District in the Ahafo Region; 11 2025 BUDGET ESTIMATES Kabalima, Gonto and Kalimbe in the Bole/Bamboi District; Betieyiri and Kunjayiri in the Sawla/Tuna/Kalba District; Bomburi in the Central Gonja District all in the Savannah Region. In the Upper West Region, Loggu-Sagu in the Wa East District and Tanduori in the Nadowli/Kaleo District have been selected for studies. These projects are expected to hold water for dry season irrigation on a total irrigable area of 10,950Ha. Again in 2025 government will construct 9 new small earth dams and rehabilitate 17 dams, construct 45 solar powered boreholes, instal two heavy duty water pumps irrigation system along the black and white volta rivers to irrigate a combined area of 5,000ha in the North East, Savannah, Upper West and Bone East Regions. Construction works on phase one of the Afram Plains Agricultural Economic Enclave Irrigation Projects (APEEIP) is currently at 25 percent, government will complete these projects to support vegetable and grain production. Additionally, government will rehabilitate the Dawa Irrigation Scheme, complete Sanyeri small earth dam, Vea Right bank Irrigation Scheme and the Tamne Irrigation Project Phase 3. The development of 14,260Ha of agricultural lands will be completed to support maize, rice, soyabean and vegetable cultivation across the country. Sub-programme 2.3 Post-harvest management & marketing Post-harvest/Storage Infrastructure To reduce the high post-harvest losses in major staples cultivated across the country, government will take stock of all public warehouses, complete the uncompleted and operationalize the completed to ensure value for money. In line with the governments’ 24-hour Economy Strategy, the establishment of 24-hour agro- processing facilities will enable the processing of raw agricultural produce into finished goods, adding value, reducing spoilage, and ensuring product availability. To enhance this vision, government will also extend electricity, provide 750,000 pallets, and 50 steel sheds to 50 warehousing unit at strategic locations across the country. Government will also construct 12-unit pack houses as holding storage for fruits and vegetables, 27 Aggregation Centres for vegetables, yam and cassava. Sub-programme 2.5 Early warning systems and emergency preparedness National Food Buffer Stock The National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO) was established to among other things maintain National Food Buffer Stocks against emergencies. To achieve food security, there is the need for food buffers to be built. Government has therefore allocated GHS100 million for NAFCO to maintain food buffer in 2025. 12 2025 BUDGET ESTIMATES PROGRAMME 3.0 AGRIBUSINESS DEVELOPMENT 3.1 Promotion of private sector investment in Agriculture Youth in Agriculture All the interventions will be designed to target greater participation of Ghanaian youth, women, people living with disabilities and other vulnerable groups into agriculture and agribusiness. During the 2024 season, Government procured and distributed farming starter packs to 100,000 youth in agriculture. In 2025 the Ministry under the Agri-Next will expand and operationalise the institutional commercial farms of National Service Scheme and Youth Employment Agency. Government will also deploy mini processing plants to the production enclaves to serve as markets for agricultural produce for primary processing to feed industry for secondary processing. This will make agricultural production a profitable venture for the youth. This will also reduce heavy dependence on food imports and increase the country’s export earnings. Additionally, Government will launch ‘Feed Industry Programme’ to boost the production of local agriculture raw materials to ensure a consistent and sufficient supply of high-quality agricultural produce for industrial use. This is to wean-off processors from importation of raw materials and contribute to job creation for the teaming youth. PROGRAMME 4.0 SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF LAND AND ENVIRONMENT 4.1 Climate Change Mitigation and Resilience Scheme Investments in research and the adoption of locally developed technologies will be key to achieving our food production targets. To drive innovation, research institutions will be resourced to conduct critical studies in areas like plant breeding, plant and livestock protection, water harvesting, conservation agriculture, climate adaptation and resilience as well as postharvest handling. To strengthen extension delivery and adoption of technologies, Government will recruit additional extension officers and animal health officers from the colleges of agriculture to augment the shortfall in extension and animal health staff. 2.6 Budget by Chart of Account 6.0- Programme, Sub-Programme and Natural Account Summary Entity: 012 - Ministry of Food and Agriculture Funding: All Source of Funding Year: 2025|Currency: Ghana Cedi (GHS) Full Year Budget GIFMIS Budget Module Jun 27, 2025 time:4:10:23 PM Page 1 | 2 2025 2026 2027 2028 Programmes - Ministry of Food and Agriculture 2,904,904,981 3,577,759,180 3,578,561,108 3,578,561,108 01201 - Management and Administration 2,149,854,407 2,223,682,398 2,223,682,398 2,223,682,398 01201001 - Finance and Administration 2,139,887,985 2,209,965,976 2,209,965,976 2,209,965,976 21 - Compensation of Employees [GFS] 50,605,489 54,209,581 54,209,581 54,209,581 22 - Use of Goods and Services 1,047,661,139 1,130,375,039 1,130,375,039 1,130,375,039 31 - Non financial assets 1,041,621,357 1,025,381,357 1,025,381,357 1,025,381,357 01201002 - Human Resource Development and Management 156,574 156,574 156,574 156,574 22 - Use of Goods and Services 156,574 156,574 156,574 156,574 01201003 - Policy; Planning; Budgeting; Monitoring and Evalu 6,635,590 10,385,590 10,385,590 10,385,590 21 - Compensation of Employees [GFS] 3,585,590 3,585,590 3,585,590 3,585,590 22 - Use of Goods and Services 3,050,000 6,800,000 6,800,000 6,800,000 01201004 - Research, Statistics, Information, Communication 3,174,257 3,174,257 3,174,257 3,174,257 21 - Compensation of Employees [GFS] 2,774,302 2,774,302 2,774,302 2,774,302 22 - Use of Goods and Services 399,955 399,955 399,955 399,955 01202 - Food Security and Emergency Preparedness 8,595,551 8,727,196 8,727,196 8,727,196 01202001 - Productivity improvement. 8,588,265 8,719,910 8,719,910 8,719,910 21 - Compensation of Employees [GFS] 3,672,207 3,803,852 3,803,852 3,803,852 22 - Use of Goods and Services 4,801,570 4,801,570 4,801,570 4,801,570 31 - Non financial assets 114,488 114,488 114,488 114,488 01202004 - Early warning systems and emergency preparedne 7,286 7,286 7,286 7,286 22 - Use of Goods and Services 7,286 7,286 7,286 7,286 01214 - Crops and Livestock Development 746,405,023 1,345,294,586 1,346,085,514 1,346,085,514 01214001 - Productivity Improvement 274,083,187 538,812,900 539,603,828 539,603,828 21 - Compensation of Employees [GFS] 77,257,218 77,554,057 78,047,985 78,047,985 22 - Use of Goods and Services 65,110,508 356,258,843 356,555,843 356,555,843 31 - Non financial assets 131,715,461 105,000,000 105,000,000 105,000,000 2.6 Budget by Chart of Account 6.0- Programme, Sub-Programme and Natural Account Summary Entity: 012 - Ministry of Food and Agriculture Funding: All Source of Funding Year: 2025|Currency: Ghana Cedi (GHS) Full Year Budget GIFMIS Budget Module Jun 27, 2025 time:4:10:23 PM Page 2 | 2 2025 2026 2027 2028 01214002 - Mechanization, irrigation and water management 391,736,246 733,164,177 733,164,177 733,164,177 21 - Compensation of Employees [GFS] 15,736,246 17,164,177 17,164,177 17,164,177 22 - Use of Goods and Services 1,000,000 1,000,000 1,000,000 1,000,000 31 - Non financial assets 375,000,000 715,000,000 715,000,000 715,000,000 01214003 - Postharvest management and agricultural marketi 49,992 49,992 49,992 49,992 22 - Use of Goods and Services 49,992 49,992 49,992 49,992 01214004 - Nutrition sensitive agriculture 2,142,394 2,561,466 2,561,466 2,561,466 21 - Compensation of Employees [GFS] 1,742,394 2,161,466 2,161,466 2,161,466 22 - Use of Goods and Services 400,000 400,000 400,000 400,000 01214005 - Early warning systems and emergency preparedne 78,393,204 70,706,051 70,706,051 70,706,051 21 - Compensation of Employees [GFS] 71,240,008 63,552,855 63,552,855 63,552,855 22 - Use of Goods and Services 5,877,911 5,877,911 5,877,911 5,877,911 31 - Non financial assets 1,275,285 1,275,285 1,275,285 1,275,285 01216 - Sustainable management of land environment 50,000 55,000 66,000 66,000 01216001 - Conservative of natural resources 30,000 33,000 39,600 39,600 22 - Use of Goods and Services 30,000 33,000 39,600 39,600 01216002 - Climate change mitigation and resilience scheme 20,000 22,000 26,400 26,400 22 - Use of Goods and Services 20,000 22,000 26,400 26,400 13 2025 BUDGET ESTIMATES PART B: BUDGET PROGRAMME SUMMARY PROGRAMME 1: MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION 1.

Budget Sub-Programme Objectives  To increase the productivity of priority commodities through the use of improved agricultural inputs.  To ensure the multiplication of improved seed/planting material and breeding stock in the agricultural stations and other locations throughout the country.  To improve seed quality assurance and certification in the seed industry.  To promote the use of certified seed, fertilizers and improved breeding stock by farmers.  To improve the production of livestock through the supply of improved breeding stock, disease control and surveillance  To promote the utilization and production of veterinary vaccines locally  To intensify food safety through effective public education  To increase farmer and other value chain actors’ participation in key decision-making processes 2. Budget Sub-Programme Description The agricultural value chain actors require the use of improved technology to enhance productivity. Quality agricultural inputs such as certified seeds, fertilizers and improved livestock breeds are major determinants of high productivity in the agricultural sector. The high cost coupled with limited access to improved agroinputs including seeds and fertilizers constrained farmers to low adoption of these inputs. The inadequate number of Agricultural Extension Agents is also a challenge to value chain development. Under the sub-programme, farmers’ access to improved inputs will be increased through the provision of subsidies to farmers and the enhanced capacity of certification agencies. The Government will improve extension service delivery through the provision of knowledge packages such as Information Education and Communication (IEC) materials on basic know-how to enhance the capacity of smallholder farmers; the use of e-Agriculture; recruiting more AEAs to improve on technical service provision and technology dissemination to farmers and building capacities of actors along the value chain. The main operations under this sub-programme are as follows;  Enhance farmers’ access to agro-inputs (fertilizers, certified seeds, agrochemicals)  Enhance farmers’ access to improved livestock breeding stocks, veterinary drugs, and vaccines.  Enhance disease control and surveillance.  Promote the production and use of quality feed.  Promote cost-effective technology development and adaptation.  Promote technology dissemination.  Promote food safety through public education.  Promote farmer and other chain actors’ participation in key decision-making processes 32 2025 BUDGET ESTIMATES The organizational units responsible for delivering this sub-programme are the Directorate of Crop Service (DCS), Plant Protection and Regulatory Service Directorate (PPRSD), Animal Production Directorate (APD), Grains and Legumes Development Board (GLDB), Veterinary Services Directorate (VSD), Women in Agricultural Directorate (WIAD) and Directorate of Agricultural Extension Services (DAES) with total staff strength of 2,320.

Budget Sub-Programme Objectives  To provide access to efficient mechanized services along the value chain  To accelerate the development and management of irrigation schemes.  To improve productivity through increased land intensification ratios on water management schemes.  To reorganize farmlands into clusters to ease access to mechanization service delivery  To promote mechanization service enterprises  To promote farm and post-farm machinery manufacturing  To promote demand-driven irrigation  To promote the development of irrigation infrastructure 2. Budget Sub-Programme Description Agricultural mechanization is essential for increased production and productivity. However, the spatial arrangement and fragmented nature of the farmlands are not conducive to mechanization service delivery. As part of a broad strategy to intensify the usage of mechanisation services, Government will support the re-organisation of farmlands into clusters to facilitate their access to agricultural machinery and thus create a thriving market for mechanization services. The government will also facilitate the establishment of Farm Service Centres which will provide services along the value chain (land preparation to post- harvest) as well as backup spare parts for all agricultural machinery and equipment, in line with the Ghana Agricultural Engineering Policy (GAEP). It is expected that about 1 million additional hectares will be put under mechanization through this process. Agriculture in Ghana is predominantly rain-fed which contributes to low productivity in the crop subsector. This sub-programme seeks to expand access to irrigated agriculture. To ensure the sustainability and efficiency of irrigation schemes, farmer participation in scheme management (operation and maintenance) will be encouraged; expansion and improvement in irrigation infrastructure; facilitation of the setting and collection of irrigation service charges; sensitization, formation, and capacity building of Water Users Association (WUAs) will be undertaken and strengthening of the irrigation value chain. The government will also incentivize the private sector to invest in irrigation development through de-risking investment in irrigation; using innovative financing schemes such as taxation and insurance of bonds; using Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) arrangements, joint ventures; strengthening governance in the irrigation sector; and support effective linkages between actors in the irrigation value chain. 38 2025 BUDGET ESTIMATES The sub-programme is implemented through the following key operations:  Promoting Agricultural Mechanization; and  Promoting Irrigation and Water Management.

Budget Sub-Programme Objectives  To create awareness on food fortification and food-based nutrition interventions  To reduce post-harvest losses and improve storage and distribution systems.  To promote quality control, processing, packaging and marketing of agricultural produce. 2. Budget Sub-Programme Description The government recognizes that reducing post-harvest losses is critical for the development and profitability of value chains and thereby promoting access to markets. To increase farmers’ access to markets, the government must promote the aggregation of smallholder farmers into upgraded value chains. This will provide the value chain players access to the goods and services they need, including seed money subsidy in a commercially viable way. This enhanced system will reduce their cost of production and consequently increase their competitiveness and wealth. It is also important to develop feeder roads and other infrastructure specifically the geographic areas where value chain clusters are located to reduce transaction costs, post-harvest losses and drive private sector investment. To foster the penetration of products into the market, this sub-programme will: create a national market information system to gather, analyse and disseminate relevant information for the agricultural sector; promote farmers’ and community markets; promote Sanitary Phyto-Sanitary (SPS) measures; quality foods and establish quality assurance certification process in food production, processing and distribution. The sub-programme is implemented through the following key operations:  Value Chain Development;  Market Intervention Schemes; and  Promotion of Quality Measures. The organizational units responsible for delivering this sub-programme are the Women in Agricultural Development (WIAD), Agricultural Engineering Services Directorate (AESD), Plant Protection and Regulatory Services Directorate (PPRSD) and Directorate of Agricultural Extension Services (DAES) with a total staff number of 658.

Budget Sub-Programme Objectives  To enhance institutional capacity to support climate-resilient agricultural development  To increase the resilience of agricultural production systems against global climate change 2. Budget Sub-Programme Description The effects of climate change resulting from rainfall and temperature variability are significantly devastating for actors in agricultural value chains, especially in the Savannah zones. This is because the majority of farmers are smallholders and rely mostly on rain-fed agriculture which is largely unreliable. Climate change has also introduced challenges such as pest and disease incidences which negatively affect production. This subprogramme, therefore, seeks to support the implementation of the Climate Smart Action Plan which supports farmers’ resilience to climate change through adaptation and mitigation. The sub-programme is implemented through Climate Change Resilience and Mitigation action The organizational unit responsible for delivering this programme is the Directorate of Crops Services with a total staff strength of 111. The beneficiaries of this programme are farmers and other key stakeholders in the agricultural sector. The programme is funded mainly by GoG and Donor (Global Affairs Canada, Food and Agriculture Organization, World Bank etc). 65 | 2025 Budget Estimates - MoFA 3.
