    Agriculture was the first occupation of man, and as it embraces the whole earth, it is the foundation of all other industries. ~Edward W. Stewart Agriculture is evolving. Agriculture may be one of the oldest field known to man, handed down from generation to generation and serving an entire populace possibly three times daily but it is a sector that cannot rely on the old ways of doing things if a bounty harvest is a goal and its status as the foundation of all other industries is to be maintained.

That is to say, Agriculture is a prospective field that one can explore to do so much more. Iribov Ghana manufactures for a sales programme for the mother company, Iribov SBW in Europe and in the United States. Nevertheless, they project a vision that is centred on developing the West African market by improving farming practices for better yields, better and more food and to improve the livelihood of l...
