Food security under threat as maize farmers in Wenchi decry impact of dry spell

Akrobi, Wenchi Municipality — Food security concerns are mounting in Akrobi, a farming community in the Wenchi Municipality of the Bono Region, after a prolonged dry spell devastated several acres of maize farms. For weeks, the municipality has endured unusually high temperatures and little rainfall. These harsh conditions have left farmlands cracked and maize crops withered, forcing many farmers to count heavy losses. Farmers fear the setback could trigger ripple effects across the food supply chain, driving up maize prices and tightening availability in the months ahead.
