The Ministry of Interior has announced that Friday, November 8, 2024, will not be a public holiday despite the celebration of the 40th Farmers’ Day.

The date has been moved from the traditional first Friday of December, which would have been December 6, for the 2024 celebration.

This comes after the Ministry of Food and Agriculture announced that National Farmers’ Day will take place on Friday, November 8, 2024.

 

In a press statement issued by the Ministry, it said President Akufo-Addo confirmed the date for the 40th edition of the annual celebration.

The statement said that the national farmers’ event will be hosted in the Greater Accra Region and that there will be no regional-level celebrations this year.

However, the Ministry said each region is permitted to nominate winners for 10 regional award categories.

“These awardees are required to travel to Accra on Friday, 8th November 2024, where they will be honoured at the Awards Night Ceremony, taking place at 4:00 p.m. at the Alisa Hotel, North Ridge.

“At this ceremony, Regional Ministers will confer awards on the honourees from their respective regions,” part of the statement read.
This rescheduling has been necessitated by the upcoming general elections.

The statement further clarified that Friday, December 6, 2024, which officially marks Farmers’ Day, will remain a statutory public holiday and will be observed nationwide.
