Amos Nayilimol,however, used the platform to urge government to improve rural infrastructure to support farmers operating in difficult terrains, particularly communities on the Obuortabiri mountains where he cultivates.
He appealed for the rehabilitation of deplorable roads leading to the farming communities, along with the provision of essential amenities such as safe drinking water, a CHPS compound, and a school, noting that these would motivate young people to remain in farming and reduce rural–urban migration.
The Municipal Chief Executive for New Juaben South Ransford Owusu Boakye assured the concerns will be addressed.
He reaffirmed that ongoing policy interventions—including the Feed Ghana Programme, Akoko Nkitinkitin poultry initiative, and investments under the Agriculture for Economic Transformation Agenda (AETA)—are expected to revive agricultural output in the municipality.
