For the first time, the best fisher during this year’s National Farmers’ Day celebration will receive a two-bedroom house.
Until now, it is only the best farmer who is awarded a fully furnished three-bedroom house valued at GH¢1 million as the ultimate prize at the National Farmers’ Day.
The Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture Development, Mrs Mavis Hawa Koomson, announced the ultimate prize for the best fisher this year when some companies presented their support for the fisheries sector towards this year’s Farmers Day to the ministry in Accra.
The minister said the house would be built at a location of the choice of the winner.
She said the aim was to make this year’s celebration unique and also to celebrate the fisherfolk for contributing in diverse ways to the development of the nation.
Mrs Koomson said the ministry would also give out cars, deep freezers, fishing nets and other fishing gear to winners of the various categories.
After receiving the donations, Mrs Koomson appealed to other companies and individuals to support the fishing sector.
