Mildred Osei-Kwarteng remembers being encouraged to pursue agricultural economics as a young university student, enticed by the promise of money and consultancies. Taught by her father to strive to be the best at whatever she chose to do, and aware of her people-oriented disposition, she found her niche in horticulture—although perhaps not the most lucrative profession.
Horticulture is a key sector in Ghana that allows me to work directly with smallholder farmers, and I love it,” she says.
