The West Africa Sorghum Value Chain Development Project last year produced 900 tonnes of a new type of sorghum in Ghana's Upper West, Upper East and Northern Regions.
This was made possible through technical and credit support the Project offered to farmers in the regions.
They produced 903 metric tonnes of "kapaala," a new breed of sorghum whose cultivation was being promoted in the regions to serve as raw material for Guinness Ghana Breweries Limited.
Mr. Stephen Mwinkaara, manager of the Project, announced the developments at a field day to show case a 20-acre demonstration sorghum farm inter cropped with grafted mango. He expressed the hope that the farmers would produce 1,600 metric tonnes of the grain this farming season, from about 4,000 acres of land.
