Berekum East Municipal Assembly Marks 39th Farmers Day Celebration at Kutre No. 2.

Berekum East Municipal Assembly today marked its 39th Farmers Day Celebration at Kutre No.2 where several farmers including women were awarded to mark the occasion.

Speaking at the ceremony, the Chairman for the occasion, Kotaahene and Adontenhene of Berekum Traditional Area, Osaberima Kwaku Baa Brintu II commended the farmers for their hard work.

According to him, Berekum was established out of farming therefore, the people should all understand to practise farming by every family in Berekum and encourage the youth to get involved in farming rather than to indulge in any other illicit activities that do not bring glory to their lives.

The MCE of Berekum East Municipal Hon. Kofi Adjei also emphasised the need to protect the environment from bushfires as we are getting close to the dry season hence urging the farmers and everyone to avoid sending fire to the farm in the dry season.

Hon. Kofi Adjei encouraged the farmers to do their best to practice mechanised agriculture which in turn will yield a lot of results for their produce.

He commended the gallant farmers in Berekum for their hard work to feed the people of Berkum and Ghana as a whole.

A 34-year-old overall best farmer Yakubu Yahaya Ture from Kutre No.1 who was crowned the winner also encouraged most of the youth in Berekum to embrace farming as one of their major work after completing school instead than to wait for white colour jobs, which farming can be the alternative in this time unemployment rate is very high among the youth. 

He also called the MCE and other authorities in Berekum to support the farmers in driving away Fulani headsmen and their cattle that have invaded most of their farmlands at Kutre No.1 Forest destroying their farm produce.
