Mr. Blair noted that there are huge investment potentials in Ghana's agricultural sector, stressing that it is remarkable the kind of success achieved by the government under the leadership of President Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo Addo since assuming power in 2017.
The former UK Prime Minister made these remarks when he paid a courtesy call on the Minister of Food and Agriculture, Hon. Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, in his office yesterday.
The two held closed discussions which centred largely on investment opportunities and how the two organizations founded by the former UK Leader could contribute to the success story of the country's agricultural sector.
In a joint media briefing after the meeting, Mr. Blair said he was impressed with the general level of development under the current regime, adding that his organisations were ready to partner Ghana in her economic transformational agenda.
The former British Prime Minister also accepted invitation from the Minister of Food and Agriculture to participate in this year's African Green Revolution Forum(AGRF) to be hosted by Ghana.
Hon. Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto on his part, expressed the optimism that the visit by Mr. Blair will spur investment opportunities for the country considering Mr. Blair's global leadership and experience in governance and human development.
He said Ghana was leading a crusade in agricultural revolution and economic transformation through the flagship Planting for Food and Jobs initiative.
