Interacting with local Farmers

Tens of thousands of smallholder farmers in Ghana grow sorghum for consumption but also to sell to large breweries that operate in West Africa. Due to the lack of consistent water flow in the country, farmers only grow sorghum once a year, with yields per hectare that are one-third of what farmers get elsewhere. Irrigation has been identified as a key intervention to address low yields per hectare and could potentially enable farmers to undertake production three times a year.
