Brazil has approved Ghana?s request for the supply of equipment to mechanise the country?s agricultural sector.

This follows a meeting in Brasilia between Vice President John Dramani Mahama and Mr Pepe Vargas, Minister of Agrarian Development of Brazil.

These were contained in a statement issued from the Office of the Vice President in Accra on Wednesday, copied to the Ghana News Agency (GNA).

Mr Vargas told Vice President Mahama that Brazil, in line with her earlier commitments, was ready to provide funds for the supply of Brazilian agricultural machinery and equipment to Ghana.

The farm tractors, boom sprayers, planters, water pumps, threshers, reapers, harvesters among others that will be supplied by Brazil is aimed at promoting Ghana?s agricultural sector through mechanisation.

The Ministries of Food and Agriculture and Finance and Economic Planning are expected to validate the prices and terms of financing by the end of next week, for confirmation by the Brazilian Government.

Vice President Mahama explained that once the processes were completed, Cabinet would discuss the details for approval and laying before Parliament for consideration.
