Our Mission

 “Working as ONE, for Agricultural Change and Development in Ghana.”

 

 

Vision

Our vision is to use our medium as a tool for economic empowerment and poverty alleviation, by providing our cherished listeners particularly farmers and other stakeholders in the Agricultural value Chain with reliable information for increased agricultural productivity and rural development through our well-designed programs. It is our desire to become one of the leading Agricultural radio stations in Ghana.

 

 

GOALS

Rite 90.1Fm’s main goal is bringing various farming experiences to inform and motivate others to join in the promotion of Agricultural development using the medium of radio. The approach is simply to promote farming business through our radio programmes i.e. Use radio to focus on agricultural and social development issues but this time to a broader group by reaching some parts of the Greater Accra, Volta and Eastern regions.

The eventual aim of programs were to highlight mainly anything that feeds di- rectly/indirectly into the Agricultural industry/chain i.e. food production, Agro processing, Agro chemicals, Agric ma- chinery/Equipment,            Transportation, packaging, Government policies, Non- governmental organizations, Consultants, Educational and research institutions and other stakeholders in the agricultural sector.
