The 35th Edition of the National Farmers' Day has been launched in Accra with an assurance from government on reaping more benefits from the numerous interventions and initiatives in the sector.

Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto, the Minister of Food and Agriculture, said the bumper harvest recorded by farmers last year was evident of the strides initiated by government for the sector.

This year's event would be held under the theme: "Enhancing Small Scale Agriculture towards Agribusiness Development".

"The bumper harvest recorded last year is a clear example and not a mere coincidence as some will believe. It was indeed the dividend of the Food Crop Module, the first to be rolled out under the Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJ)," he said.
