CEO of Chamber of Agribusiness, Anthony Morrison, has said that Ghana needs to establishment a seed bank immediately in order to forestall food insecurity that could plague the country

He explained that seeds that are used in growing almost 90 percent of the crops and vegetables are imported into the country. If problems occur in these countries, he said, Ghana will suffer to grow its crops as a result of overreliance on those countries for seeds.

He called on financial institutions and other banks to support in the establishment of a national seed bank to ensure that this problem does not emerge in the country.
