Development Works: A story for every week of the year
The
pineapple has become one of Ghana’s best exports, with shipments to Europe
increasing from 2,000 tonnes per year in the early 1980s to over 50,000 tonnes
in 2005.
Sammy Ankoma is a pineapple farmer whose livelihood has been transformed
by this growth. “I’ve built a lovely house, and was the first farmer in the
village to buy a car,” he proudly declares.
Sammy is from Ghana, where British aid is helping to change many people's lives.
