Skyfox pays dividend of Gh¢70,000.00 to farmer group investors
Donkorkrom (E/R), Feb.27, GNA- Skyfox Limited,
investors in agriculture, has paid dividend of
Gh¢70,000.00 to over 20 farmer groups who
invested in their integrated three year
aquaculture and crop production programme
introduced in Donkorkrom and some communities in
the Afram Plains.
The programme, an initiative of Skyfox with
finance support from the USAID and the Afram
Plains Development Organization (APDO) is to help
create employment for farmers especially the youth
in the area.
At a short meeting to hand over the cheques to the
beneficiary farmers at Donkorkrom in the Kwahu
Afram Plains North District, Mr
Patrick Apoya, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
of Skyfox hinted that some of the groups had as
much as 40 per cent of their investment as
interest on shares bought from the company, adding
that, it would go a long way to better the living
standards of the farmers.
He indicated that, the gesture had brought the
first phase of the programme to an end and said
registration for the second phase was also
opened.
Mr Apoya said the second phase would see a massive
improvement as the company had plans of signing a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Afram
Community Bank to aid beneficiaries financially.
Mr Apoya said the doors of the company were opened
to investors, individuals, NGOs and corporate
bodies who wanted to do business with the company
to take advantage of the second phase of the
programme.
This, Mr Apoya explained that the project was to
bring more people on board so as to create job
avenues for the unemployed across the district.
Speaking in an interview with the Ghana News
Agency, Mr Osei Frimpong, one of the
representative of Somuyie Group of Farmers
expressed gratitude to Skyfox for honouring their
promise and assured them of the farmers’
readiness to buy more shares in the second phase
to improve their livlihood.
