Ghana’s soybean industry is set for a major boost as the Crops Research Institute (CRI) partners with the Harnessing Agricultural Productivity and Prosperity for Youth (HAPPY) programme to scale up early generation seeds to increase local production. The initiative aims to address chronic shortages that have pushed several processing plants to the brink of collapse. Officials say the use of improved, locally developed varieties such as the Toondana line will significantly enhance yields, support climate resilience, and strengthen the soybean value chain.
