The government is set to set up two more Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJ) Markets at Okaishie, near the Fire Service Office, and the Kwame Nkrumah Circle, all in Accra.
This follows the high patronage of farm produce transported to the premises of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture for direct sales, which started on Friday, November 11, 2022.
The initiative, which is a pilot project under the Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJ), is meant to mitigate the impact of rising food prices on real incomes of civil and local government workers.
