For her part, the Public Relations Manager, Dizengoff Ghana, Ms Elaine M Arthur, said the company had initiated a new approach towards Ghana's small-scale farmers, by introducing the award winning Dizengoff Farmers Kit (DFK).

”This initiative, which has been embraced through Balton CP's subsidiaries in over 20 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, has been a catalyst for new and emerging partnerships between Dizengoff Ghana and the government of Ghana.
