Bolgatanga, June 29, GNA - About 26.6 million tree seedlings of various species will be grown on 20,000 hectares of land all over the country this year.
Mr. Mark Woyongo, Upper East Regional Minister, who said this in Bolgatanga at the launch of the VSO XChange Programme, said government had already released funds for the survey, demarcation and preparation of the land.
This, he said, would provide jobs for the youth as it was estimated to create 12,600 jobs and an estimated 160,000 metric tonnes of food crops to be produced from the plantations.
