Demeter Ghana Limited has hosted a Farmer Field Day at DGL Fresh Farm in Kasoa, bringing together more than 50 fruit and vegetable farmers, distributors and agronomy experts to highlight new technologies and improved seed varieties aimed at boosting agricultural productivity.
Held under the theme “Growing Together,” the event was organised in partnership with Hazera Seeds, one of Demeter’s international seed collaborators. Participants were taken through a guided tour of the company’s nursery and demonstration plots, which featured a range of maize and vegetable crops cultivated with improved inputs.
Attendees also had the opportunity to explore product displays showcasing Hazera hybrid seed varieties, Omya soil conditioners and Demeter’s latest fertilizer formulations. According to Demeter Ghana, the initiative forms part of ongoing efforts to equip farmers with practical knowledge and high-quality inputs to enhance yields.
