Adjei Benjamin said on June 30, 2012

Alexis, am from ghana but am not a farmer and i have not really heard of any sunflower farm down here. maybe you can contact the ministry of agriculture and find out. it would be also help if you could come down to ghana (that is if you have the time) then you can get a land and start growing. I would love to be part of your idea though. My contact phoresstt@hotmail.com. hope to get a mail from you.

soyel said on July 5, 2012

pls tell me, I am in the northern part of ghana where we have just approx 3 months of rainfall and the rest of the months dry. how long does it take to mature? when should cultivation start? which variety would be good for our climate? I am interested in sunflower and would love to produce and sell.
