Ghana's national agricultural policy framework centers on Planting for Food and Jobs Phase II (PFJ 2.0) and the Feed Ghana Programme (FGP). PFJ 2.0 shifts from direct input subsidies to a smart input-credit system, while the 2025–2028 Feed Ghana Programme targets value-chain transformation, reducing food imports, and boosting self-sufficiency.
