The Cash-Ih-Tractors, which are perfect for both smallholders and commercial farmers or as utility tractors on any farming and/or hauling business; has been introduced to support farmers in the “Planting for Food and Jobs” Policy of the Government of Ghana.

“Halting the breaking of the backs of the ordinary farmer through the use of hoe and cutlass by resorting to mechanizations is at the heart of the President and therefore any durable tractor that would serve the test of time would be welcome”.

He told Dizengoff Ghana that government’s doors were open and was looking for stronger tractors that could be suitable for the Ghanaian terrain and “if you bring good tractors, we will be good partners”,

Dr Gyeile explained that farmers at Planting for Food and Jobs forum organised by the ADB Bank were looking for mechanization services and after sales services.

He said the company had put in place an excellent After Sales Services and the provision of adequate Spare Parts will not be a problem.
