PROSSFA Project: NABOCADO Executive Director and Staff Visit Beneficiary Farm

The Executive Director of NABOCADO, Dr. Joseph Ayembilla, along with several staff members, conducted a working visit to the farm of Emmanuel, a beneficiary of the Professionalization of Small Scale Farming (PROSSFA) project.

This visit follows a successful training and exchange learning trip to Uganda in August 2024 and is part of ongoing monitoring efforts. The aim is to provide guidance and ensure that young farmers effectively apply the knowledge they have gained through the Ghana-Germany-Uganda partnership cooperation program.

Emmanuel, a dedicated catfish farmer, is one of 20 youth farmers selected for the PROSSFA project. The initiative aims to enhance their skills and expertise, empowering them to view agriculture as a viable business that creates sustainable jobs and income.

During the visit, the team engaged in discussions on how to standardize Emmanuel’s farm practices, focusing on infrastructure, scalability, record keeping, and strategies to enhance productivity in fish farming.

Dr. Ayembilla expressed his appreciation for Emmanuel’s efforts and offered valuable insights into areas for improvement. He emphasized that NABOCADO is committed to providing the necessary support to Emmanuel and other passionate farmers, helping them align their businesses with the objectives of the PROSSFA project. Currently, Emmanuel operates a comprehensive catfish business that includes a hatchery, sales of fingerlings, a production pond, and a grilling point in Navrongo.
