The John A. Kufour Foundation (JAKF) launched the maiden edition of the Youth in Agribusiness festival to establish the Youth in Agribusiness Information hub in Ghana.
The festival was under the theme; “Youth in Agribusiness in Ghana: the story so far and the way forward” will be a one-stop shop where the young individuals in Ghana can access all the necessary information needed for the development and sustainability of agribusiness.
“The festival’s goal is to highlight young people’s excellent achievements in the agribusiness sector.” It aims to honour outstanding young agribusiness professionals by giving them a forum to share their success stories.
“It is therefore critical to provide a platform for youth to share their experiences, learn lessons, and network along the value chain, which will serve as an inspiration to generate interest for both employed and unemployed youths, particularly for those who do not see agribusiness as an attractive business venture,” the Foundation stated.
Agribusiness products and services will be on display as part of the inaugural Youth in Agribusiness Festival’s activities. Registration is encouraged for all interested individuals and businesses.

Kufuor Foundation’s Youth in Agribusiness Festival honours the contributions and accomplishments of young agribusiness entrepreneurs in Ghana and Africa.” The three-day festival will occur at Jubilee Park and the Prempeh Assembly Hall in Kumasi’s Ashanti region from July 27 to 29, 2022.
“Exhibition of Agribusiness Products and Services, Innovative Agri-financing and Investment Forum, Training on Emerging Agribusiness Enterprises for Youth Engagement, Networking, and Business Linkage Session, and Production and Premiering of the documentary on Youth in Agribusiness in Ghana are among the Festival’s activities.”
“Given the crucial roles played by young people in the agribusiness value-chain towards the restructuring of the Ghanaian economy, it promises to be the greatest and most exciting agri-show to ever take place in Ghana.”
Mr Jeffrey Agyemang-Duah, Convener of the Youth in Agribusiness Festival, said, “The event welcomes participation from all individuals, particularly young people aged 18 to 35 who are engaged in various agribusiness enterprises.”
