FACT CHECK: There is Fertilizer Shortage in Ghana
The Akufo Addo government is advicing farmers to use chicken poopoo as fertiliser while it pays Zoomlion to supply manure or organic fertiliser
The Akufo-Addo government owes Fertiliser suppliers since 2020.
None of the fertiliser suppliers were paid in 2021, so they have refused to supply any fertiliser in 2022.
The Akufo-Addo government is blaming the recent Russia-Ukraine war for fertiliser shortage.

The acute food shortage and the rise in inflation driven by the over 22% food inflation and over 27% fuel price inflation.
The depreciation of the Cedi, the country’s unsustainable debt situation and hardship brought on by a collapsed economy makes the plight of the Ghanaian dire even without E-LEVY.
Food shortage will adversely affect the School Feeding Programme and the cost of the Free SHS.
STAY TUNED.
