Chief Executive Officer of Agri-Impact, Daniel Fahene Acquaye, has urged stakeholders in Ghana’s agricultural sector to shift focus from merely discussing the potential of agribusiness to delivering tangible results.

Speaking on The Point of View on Channel One TV with Bernard Avle on Wednesday, July 30, Mr. Acquaye said that while the benefits of agribusiness are well known, it is time for action and a measurable impact.

“There’s empirical and spiritual evidence telling us what agribusiness can do, and we have said this over and over that agribusiness can create jobs, and agribusiness will transform our economies.

“We come back and say that agribusiness can increase our GDP, and agribusiness will reduce unemployment. Agribusiness is now asking the question: What can you also do for me because I have told you what I can do,” he said.

Mr. Acquaye stressed the need for stakeholders to move beyond discussions of potential and instead demonstrate actual achievements in the sector.

“I want us to move from the situation where we keep talking about the potential without impact. We need to move away from potential. Agri-impact has the potential, yes, we know that, we don’t want that again, we want to say what Agri-Impact has done,” he noted.

His remarks come in the context of renewed national attention on agribusiness as a driver of economic transformation, following the launch of the National Agribusiness Dialogue by the Mahama administration to strengthen value chains and support industrialisation.
