The delegation from Ghana's Food and Agriculture Ministry also included Chief Technical Advisor Kwasi Etu Bonde and Director of Agricultural Engineering Services Patrick Aboagye.
"We saw a vast number of new technologies and management processes at Belagro 2025 that we can successfully implement at home.
