Stakeholders empowered to boost cassava value chain
Aug 4, 2020
The Ghana Industrial Cassava Stakeholder Platform (GICSP), an information hub for the cassava value chain through its ‘Ghana Cassava Industrialization Partnership Project’, has empowered stakeholders in the value chain to boost cassava production and supply.
The stakeholders included cassava farmers, processors, aggregators, and input suppliers in the Volta, Oti, Western, Eastern, Central and Ashanti Regions.
They were also encouraged to register with the GICSP for a robust cassava supply chain through supporting nucleus, commercial and smallholder farmers in better agronomical practices and for onward market linkages.
This was contained in a statement from the GICSP, and copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra. The statement explained that the step was to focus on establishing the domestic value chains well to feed the export markets.
GICSP, with support from the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), has a mandate and responsibility to facilitate and coordinate structured markets for its members, develop a public-private partnership, build capacities of members and engage in policy advocacy in the inclusion of cassava in manufactured products as substitutes to imported ones, the statement explained.
The project, it said, sought to adopt an inclusive multi-disciplinary intervention through a consortium of seven partners to provide market access, agro-inputs business solutions, market information systems, technical training and strengthen farmer-based organisations to achieve desired results.
