<\/a><\/p>\nSpeaking in an interview, Head of AgriBusiness of OISL, Mr. Isaac Kojo Gyesi, acknowledged that farmers at all levels of the agric value Chain either lack knowledge in modern farming practices or need upgraded skills in farming.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo address these challenges, Opportunity International Savings and Loans (OISL) with financial support from the UK Aid, is organizing these training workshops across the country, with the objective of equipping the farmers with the appropriate farming technology; which will lead to improved yield, increased incomes and total financial and holistic transformation of the smallholder farmers in Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Head of AgriBusiness of OISL, Isaac Kojo Gyesi, spoke about the relevance of capacity building within the farming industry during the workshop.<\/p>\n
\u201cBuilding the capacity of the farmers will enable them improve their living standards through enhanced understanding and implementation of good agricultural practices, business planning and financial literacy skills\u201d, he noted.<\/p>\n
Participants were trained in good agricultural practices, understanding farming as a business, financial literacy, records keeping for production activities, Harvest and Sales, Risk Mitigation in Agriculture, as well as Production and Preparation of a Crop Budget.<\/p>\n
E-banking products being offered by OISL, including the newly launched Opportunity Mobile cell phone banking solution, were also introduced to the farmers to help them manage their finances appropriately.<\/p>\n
