According to the president, Ghana has managed to grow to become a huge exporter of products like plantain and tomatoes which the nation used to import.
President Akufo-Addo said even during the era of the dreaded COVID-19 which was coupled by a lockdown, the nation did not experience any form of food shortage.
The final State of the Nation Address is currently being delivered by President Akufo-Addo in line with the 1992 Constitution as part of plans to draw the curtains on Ghana's 7th Parliament in the 4th Republic.
