The Orange Growers Association (OGA) launched its eastern regional chapter at Akim Aperade in the Achiase District to enhance quality farming and provide a profitable and readily available market for orange farmers in the country.
OGA was instituted a few years ago with the sole objective to assist farmers with technical knowledge and up-to-date farming techniques to ensure rich yield and direct access to off-takers who will purchase their oranges at competitive prices to prevent losses after harvest.
This initiative came about when Eastfield farms. the largest orange farm in Ghana with 1500 acres of purely organic grown oranges, and its advisory board met to deliberate on how to boost and promote organic orange farming and make oranges the most sought-after fruit in Ghana and West Africa.
