GIRSAL has reaffirmed its commitment to advancing Ghana’s agricultural sector with a GHS 50,000 donation towards the 41st National Farmers’ Day celebration, scheduled to take place in Ho on 5th December 2025.
The cheque was presented by GIRSAL’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Nicholas Afrifa, on Tuesday, 2nd December 2025, at the Ministry of Food and Agriculture. The Honourable Minister for Food and Agriculture, Mr. Eric Opoku, received the donation on behalf of the Ministry.
During the presentation, Mr. Afrifa highlighted the importance of collaborative efforts in strengthening Ghana’s agricultural value chain.
“GIRSAL’s mandate goes beyond providing credit guarantees. We work closely with financial institutions, agribusinesses, government agencies, and value chain actors to ensure sustainable growth in the sector. This donation is our way of supporting the Ministry as it honours Ghana’s hardworking farmers. We are confident that the donation will help procure 250 knapsack sprayers to reward deserving farmers during the 2025 National Farmers’ Day celebrations,” he noted
He further emphasized 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.”
The 2025 National Farmers’ Day celebration, to be held in Ho, will recognize outstanding farmers for their invaluable contributions to Ghana. GIRSAL’s support forms part of its broader mission to de-risk agricultural financing, strengthen value chains, and contribute meaningfully to Ghana’s food systems transformation.
