An extension officer with the Department of Agriculture in the Bole District, Mr Bukari Gaspard is urging farmers to adapt to the unpredictable rainfall patterns by planting seeds that reach full maturity in 75 to 95 days, instead of the traditional 120 days.

Highlighting the benefits of planting quick-maturing maize and other cereal crops, Mr Gaspard emphasized that these varieties could help farmers avoid the post-harvest losses they often face.

Speaking on Yagbon Radio during a discussion session focused on reducing post-harvest loss in the case of the recent drought in Northern Ghana among peasant farmers , Mr Gaspard stressed the importance of this shift in agricultural practices.

“Given the erratic rain patterns we’ve been experiencing, it is crucial for farmers to adapt by choosing crops that can mature faster,” he stated.

This strategy, he explained, would minimize the risk of crops failing due to insufficient rainfall, thereby improving food security and farmers’ livelihoods.

In addition to recommending quick-maturing seeds, Mr Gaspard took the opportunity to educate farmers on the appropriate use of fertilizers and seeds to enhance crop yields.

Despite ongoing sensitization programs, he noted that many farmers still lack basic knowledge about the correct application of fertilizers.

“Some farmers continue to struggle with applying the right quantity of fertilizer to their crops,” Mr Gaspard observed, highlighting the need for continuous education and support.
