Ghana: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual
Diligence on the part of local researchers and concerted efforts by various stakeholders in Ghana are yielding tangible results as the country is on the verge of commercializing its first genetically engineered (GE) product in 2018, a year ahead of schedule. The Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation (MESTI) has urged the new National Biosafety Authority (NBA) Board to educate the Ghanaian public on biotechnology and biosafety issues so as to help them better understand and embrace biotechnology as a key tool in the country’s socio-economic advancement.
