The Chief Executive Officer of Barima Matata Farms, Mr. Boadu Menka Peter, popularly known as Matata, has hinted at initiating a 24-hour economy within the company.

This announcement was made during the inauguration of a new branch or annex of Barima Matata Farms Agro in New Konkrompe, a community in Atebubu .

During his speech at the event, Barima Matata expressed his support for a policy that is soon to be introduced by President John Dramani Mahama and the NDC government.

He emphasized the challenges faced by farmers who return late from their farms, often struggling to find farm inputs to purchase.

By introducing a 24-hour economy, the Bono-East Region business mogul, Mr. Menka Boadu, aims to address this issue and ensure that farmers have access to necessary inputs at all times.

The launch of the new branch in New Konkrompe on May 30, 2025, was a significant step towards achieving this goal.

The expansion was designed to bring agricultural extension products, goods, and services closer to rural farmers in New Konkrompe and its surrounding communities.

The event was attended by various dignitaries, including traditional leaders, religious leaders, the Municipal Chief Imam, and suppliers of farm inputs and agro products.

The presence of these key stakeholders highlights the importance of the initiative and the support it has garnered from various sectors of society.

The introduction of a 24-hour economy within Barima Matata Farms is a promising development that will benefit farmers and enhance agricultural productivity in the region.

Mr. Boadu’s vision for a more accessible and efficient agricultural sector is commendable, and it is hoped that these new setups and initiatives will bring about positive changes for farmers and the community as a whole.
