Senyo Hosi, a former chief executive officer of the Chamber of Bulk Oil Distributors, has criticized President Nana Akufo-Addo and his administration for the plight of Ghana's agriculture industry.

In an interview with Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's morning program "Kokrokoo," Mr. Senyo Hosi emphasized the utter failure of the President's "Planting for Food and Jobs" policy, which was intended to boost the agricultural industry.

"After all these years, show me one agriculture sector that has been well-structured. It's zero," he exclaimed.

To him, it shouldn't be difficult for the government to develop the agriculture infrastructue to assist farmers to be productive and to check the nation's dependence on foreign imports.

"How much irrigated fields do we have? Have we invested in our irrigated fields to march our needs as a country? But when you look at the billions we have spent on this Planting for Food and Jobs which we can't see any particular thing that's sustaining the industry. I think that it's a failed project. It's a totally failed project."

Mr. Senyo Hosi asked the government to concentrate more of her efforts on improving the agric sector which he believes is the country's engine of progress.

"We have the capacity to progressively grow and then eventually fully supply Ghana. It's possible for us to feed our own self," he stated.
