Agrihouse Foundation assembles queen mothers to discuss agriculture
 The 6th edition of the Gathering of Royals, a programme to bring queen mothers across 16 regions of the country who are engaged in agriÂculture and agribusiness to discuss innovations solutions to promote their business, has been launched.
The programme, slated for February 29, 2024 in Accra, is on the theme âSeeds of Change: Cultivating Gender Equality in Agriculture andHonouring WomÂenâs Achievementâ.
An initiative of Agrihouse Foundation, an agribusiness  development organisation, the programme is meant to recognise queen mothers in agriculture and agribusiness.
Speaking at the launch of the programme in Accra on Monday, the Executive Director of AgriÂhouse Foundation, Alberta Nana AkyaaAkosa, said the programme was started six years ago to create a platform to highlight the chalÂlenges queen mothers face in their agriculture and agribusiness space.
She said the programme had brought to the limelight queen mothers who were spearheading
 growth, development and change in the agricultural sector within their respective regions.
MsAkosa said the women leadÂers during this yearâs programme would discuss the key issues they face in their respective regions and communities ranging from access to resources, market challengÂes, and the need for sustainable practices.
âThey will collectively brainÂstorm and explore innovative soluÂtions to address these challenges, with the ultimate goal of fostering a thriving and inclusive agricultural  sector,â she stated.
The Executive Director of Agrihouse Foundation indicated that the programme, since its inception, had brought together over 2,973 queen mothers, women in agribusiness, processors, political leaders, women farmers, assemblyÂmen, District Chief Executives and community leaders, and stakeholdÂers across the agricultural value chain to discuss and proffered solutions to promote agriculture and agribusiness.
The Queen Mothers AssociaÂtion of Ghana said the âGathering of the Royalsâ was not just any ordinary event, saying âIt was a special convergence of queen mothers who were passionate about agribusiness and who come together to have meaningful diaÂlogues, share experiences, and find ways to improve the agricultural sector in their communities in parÂticular and the country at large.â
The Association expressed gratitude to Agrihouse FoundaÂtion for creating the platform to dialogue with queen mothers on agriculture.
