A burgeoning entrepreneur based in Obuasi, Dr. Collins Amo, who is the Chief Executive Officer of Aduro Ye Herbal Center, the producers of Obuase bitters, has donated an amount of GH¢15,000 towards the celebration of the 39th National Farmer’s Day in the Obuasi East District.
Known for his philanthropic work, the businessman made a similar donation last year to support Farmer’s Day in the same district as part of his company’s Corporate Social Responsibility.
While presenting the donation to the Farmer’s Day planning committee, Collins Amo said the gesture was meant to aid the organization of the event and to recognize the overwhelming contributions of farmers in the district.
He commended farmers for their role in food security and for braving the storm to put food on the tables of men. “We know the challenges that farmers face regarding irregular weather patterns, but despite all of these, they still work hard to feed us. They need to be celebrated.”
He was optimistic that the donation would spur the farmers to continue working hard to support the economic development of the country.
Dr. Amo reiterated the need for an all-hands-on-deck approach in dealing with the perennial problems and challenges facing the agricultural sector. He said the government cannot shoulder the burden alone, and there is a need for individuals, groups, and corporate bodies to come on board to support farmers.
Upon receiving the amount on behalf of the planning committee, the Chief Executive for the Obuasi East District, Hon. Faustina Amissah, thanked the CEO of Aduro Ye for once again supporting the Farmers’ Day celebrations.
She said the support would go a long way to ensure a successful event and that the district was poised to honour farmers for their unwavering support and contributions to the development of the country.
The Obuasi East District’s edition of the 39th National Farmers’ Day will be held at Mampamhwe under the theme “Delivering Smart Solutions for Sustainable Food Security and Resilience.”
