He thanked the DCE Hon. Francis K. Ankomah, the District Coordinating Director, and the District Director of Agriculture for honoring him for his hard work as a farmer.

"The only business which can yield you thousands of Ghana cedis within a short period is agriculture; if you plant rice within 90 days you will get plenty of money for yourself. Youth join the agriculture business and you will not regret" The Best farmer concluded.
