The leadership of YASTA Fish Farmers Association in the Tono North Municipality, Ahafo Region, have expressed worry that the emergence of Newmont Ghana Gold Limited (NGGL) in that area is a great threat to their sustainable socio-economic livelihoods.
According to Mr. Ahmed Saiid Addai, Chairman of the Association with a membership strength of 200, comprising mostly of both male/female youth across Yamfo, Afrisipakrom, Susuanso Terchire, and Adrobaa (YASTA), they could harvest more than 90 tons of cat fish and tilapia every month.
