The Volta Region of Ghana is setting ambitious goals to establish itself as the country's top producer of maize. Local authorities and agricultural stakeholders are collaborating to enhance maize production through improved farming techniques, better access to seeds, and advanced technology. The initiative aims not only to increase yield but also to boost the livelihoods of farmers in the region.

Key strategies include organizing training programs for farmers, promoting sustainable agricultural practices, and facilitating access to credit and resources. The Volta Regional Minister emphasized that this initiative aligns with national food security targets and economic growth objectives.
