On this great occasion of the 40th National Farmers Day Celebrations, Grand durbar, Awards and Exhibitions, we at the Ghana-Nebraska Agribusiness Growth and Trade Relations Chamber (GNEBCham) extend our warmest congratulations and heartfelt appreciation to Ghana’s farmers, fishers, vale chain actors and agribusiness professionals.
Your tireless dedication and resilience are the backbone of Ghana’s agriculture, playing a pivotal role in ensuring food security, economic growth and sustainable livelihoods.
GNEBCham have, within the past three years, put into action, a collective mission, to create opportunities that strengthens the agricultural sectors of both Ghana and Nebraska respectively.
FORMER NEBRASKA STATE SENATOR KEN SCHILZ /CO- FOUNDER, GHANA-NEBRASKA AGRIBUSINESS GROWTH AND TRADE RELATIONS CHAMBER (GNEBCHAM)
We have been committed to facilitating agribusiness trade activities, supporting knowledge sharing, educational exchanges, capacity building and business expansion between our two Regions.
With the support of valued stakeholders and partners, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the U.S. Embassy, Nebraska Strategies, Agrihouse Foundation, Nebraska Department of Economic Development , among others, we have been able to facilitate and advance business opportunities, with some at the early stages and others already flourishing.
The Chamber has by far, experienced an agribusiness sector that has a key potential to thrive further, given the favorable economic conditions, transparent regulations and active government-private sector collaborations.
As a farmer myself, this Farmers’ Day celebrations means so much and reminds me, that together, we can build a stronger, more inclusive agrifood system.
After earning my Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration, I returned to our family farm in western Nebraska, where my father, brother and I worked together to farm and raise cattle.
For about 15 years, I had the privilege of managing our family’s 20,000-head feed yard, and in 2006, I received the Progressive Partner Award from Certified Angus Beef.
I am indeed excited that, now more than ever, Farmers’ efforts and progress are been tracked, recognized and celebrated all over the world.
This special day not only celebrates the achievements of Ghana’s agricultural community but also reminds us that, further, leveraging on the power of innovation and collaboration with organizations such as GNEBCHAM, would contribute immensely in achieving food sustainability and economic prosperity.
GNEBCHAM pledges our continued support to grow sustainable farmers, advance our agribusiness infrastructure and embark on Agri-trade activities that drive success in both Ghana and Nebraska.
Together, we look forward to a prosperous future where Ghanaian and Nebraskan farmers and agribusinesses thrive locally and globally.
Congratulations to you all and we welcome you to join the Ghana-Nebraska Agribusiness Growth and Trade Relations Chamber
Happy Farmers Day to all!
The Ghana-Nebraska Agribusiness Growth and Trade Relations Chamber was co-founded by Former Nebraska Senator, Ken Schilz and Ghana’s Agribusiness advocate, Alberta Nana Akyaa Akosa, when both realized their common dedication to their respective country’s agriculture, and their genuine passion to ensure growth and partnerships thrives between their two Regions.
