The Modernizing Agriculture in Ghana (MAG) Programme is assisting farmers in some selected areas in the Ashanti Region to acquire improved varieties of Taro (kooko) planting materials.
The four main new varieties being distributed to the farmers, especially in the Ejisu and Asante-Mampong Municipalities, include 'CRI-Yen anya woa', 'CRI-Agyenkwa', 'CRI-Okumkom' and 'CRI-Huogbelor'.
