Agriculture Department
Crop Extension, Livestock & Fisheries
The Agriculture Department of the Ningo-Prampram District Assembly, working in collaboration with the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA), provides technical support and extension services to farmers, fisherfolk, and agribusinesses throughout the district. Agriculture remains a vital pillar of the district's economy, particularly in rural communities.
The department promotes modern farming techniques, improved seed varieties, sustainable land management practices, and access to credit and markets. The department also coordinates the annual Farmers' Day celebration which recognises outstanding farmers in the district, as seen in the district's 41st Farmers' Day celebration in December 2025.
