Presenting the cheque to the Honourable Minister for Food and Agriculture, Mr Eric Opoku, the CEO highlighted the importance of collaborative efforts in strengthening Ghana’s agricultural finance sector.

“GIRSAL’s mandate goes beyond providing credit guarantees.

This donation is our way of supporting the Ministry as it honours Ghana’s hardworking farmers and fishers,” he noted.

He further reaffirmed GIRSAL’s commitment to improving agricultural financing, promoting innovation, and supporting initiatives that enhance productivity and resilience across the sector.

Upon receiving the donation, the honourable Minister expressed appreciation to GIRSAL for its continued partnership and support and said:

“On behalf of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, I extend our sincere gratitude to GIRSAL for its generous contribution. Preparations for this year’s National Farmers’ Day are far advanced, and this support will directly benefit our farmers, who remain at the heart of Ghana’s food security. Rest assured, the donation will go into rewarding the farmers to encourage and impact food production for the benefit of the nation.”
