This initiative aligns with the government's planting for Export and Rural Development (PERD) policy.

The aim of this initiative is to promote agricultural development in the district and support farmers in the cultivation of coconuts for export and rural development.

The procurement of the seedlings by the District Assembly demonstrates their commitment to the growth and success of the agricultural sector in the area.

Hon. Francis Kwadwo Oppong advised the farmers to take advantage of this intervention. He said that in collaboration with the District Agricultural officers, they will go round to monitor the progress of the various farms.
