The report indicates that yara Ghana has introduced two crop-specific fertiliser solutions, Yara Winner Plus and Yara Legume, as part of efforts to help farmers improve productivity, increase returns on investment and promote sustainable agricultural practices.

The engagement brought together farmers, agricultural stakeholders and industry players to discuss the importance of adopting suitable crop nutrition solutions to improve farm outcomes.
Country Director of Yara Ghana, Madam Theresa Randolph, stated the company remains committed to providing farmers with targeted solutions that address their changing needs and improve livelihoods.

According to her, Yara Ghana continues to work with farmers and agricultural stakeholders to develop fertiliser solutions suited to Ghana’s farming conditions.
“Yara Ghana is committed to providing our smallholder farmers with the right crop nutrition solutions to enable them to achieve optimal yields, improve their incomes, and enhance their livelihoods.”
Madam Randolph stated the introduction of Yara Winner Plus and Yara Legume was informed by the need to provide farmers with specialised products that meet the nutritional requirements of different crops.
The North East Regional Director of Agriculture, Mr Edward Nasara, welcomed the initiative, describing Yara Ghana as an important partner in Ghana’s agricultural development.
He stated the Department of Agriculture would collaborate with Yara Ghana through extension services, farmer education and technical support to help farmers understand the proper application and benefits of the products.
Mr Nasara noted that access to effective crop nutrition solutions could contribute to increased productivity, improved incomes and greater youth participation in agriculture.
He encouraged farmers to adopt recommended fertiliser application practices to achieve better yields and sustainable production.
Yara Ghana Sales Agronomist for the North East Region, Mr Osuman Fuseini, emphasised the importance of applying the right fertiliser at the appropriate stage of crop development to achieve maximum benefits.
He explained that crop productivity depends not only on fertiliser application but also on understanding soil conditions, crop requirements and proper farming practices.
