Ghana has launched a climate-resilient wheat initiative in collaboration with India, specifically through Arima Farms and the CSIR-Crops Research Institute. This strategic move is part of Ghana’s broader goal to reduce its heavy reliance on wheat imports, which currently amount to over $400 million annually. By enhancing local agricultural productivity with resilient wheat varieties, Ghana aims to promote food security and self-sufficiency. The partnership is also a key example of South-South cooperation, highlighting how countries in the Global South are leveraging joint innovation and technology to tackle shared challenges in food and agriculture. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was conferred with Ghana's national honour, 'Officer of the Order of the Star,' by President John Mahama during his visit to the country.
