Renowned chief, Ejurahene Barimah Osei Hwedie II, has been one of the major driving force behind Ghana’s food security for the past decade.

Under Barimah Osei Hwedie II’s visionary leadership, the traditional council has created a thriving environment for farmers.
By reducing land acquisition costs, he’s encouraged youth to venture into farming, boosting production.

The chief has also supported over 15 farming communities with mechanized boreholes, addressing water access issues.
Collaborations with security services have protected farmlands from destructive cattle, giving farmers peace of mind.
