Alberta Nana Akyaa Akosa, an agri-business advocate and founder of Agrihouse Foundation, has urged the youth to take advantage of the opportunities presented by agribusiness and make the most of them.
“Agribusiness is a combination of the words ‘agriculture’ and ‘business’ and refers to any business related to farming and farming-related commercial activities,” Akosa said.
She was speaking at the Citi Business Festival Forum on Agribusiness Ecosystem on Citi TV in Accra on Tuesday.
Akosa emphasized that what was required of the youth in that ecosystem was for them to be creative and innovative, as these were the skills that were in demand.
“Creativity and innovation are what are selling now, so if you are a youth, you need to tap into the opportunities in the value chain of agribusiness,” she added.
Akosa also said that venturing into the agribusiness ecosystem was not only about food security, but also about building resilience.
