CropLife Ghana, the umbrella organization for manufacturers, importers, and distributors of essential agricultural inputs such as pesticides, fertilizers, and seeds, held its 2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM) for CEOs and Managing Directors on April 29 at the Mendsvic Grande Hotel in East Legon, Accra.
The meeting brought together leaders from all 23 member companies to deliberate on strategies to advance sustainable agriculture in Ghana. As an affiliate of CropLife Africa Middle East (CLAME) and CropLife International (CLI), the association reaffirmed its dedication to promoting modern agricultural practices through innovation, research, and responsible stewardship.
A key focus of the AGM was product life cycle stewardship—ensuring that farmers have access to safe, high-quality, and affordable agricultural inputs while mitigating risks to human health, crops, and the environment.
Participants also emphasized the importance of strengthening regulatory compliance and quality assurance through deeper collaboration with state agencies, including the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA), the Plant Protection and Regulatory Services Department of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (PPRSD-MoFA), and the Ghana Standards Authority (GSA).
The event featured Dr. Peter Boamah Otokunor, Director for Presidential Initiatives in Agriculture and Agribusiness, as the keynote speaker. Representing H.E. President John Dramani Mahama, Dr. Otokunor outlined the government’s vision for transforming agriculture through the Agriculture for Economic Transformation Agenda (AETA).
He reiterated the administration’s commitment to partnering with CropLife Ghana to modernize the sector, create jobs, and drive inclusive economic growth.
