The National Farmers Day which was instituted in 1985 by the Government of Ghana is celebrated on the first Friday of December each year to recognize the contributions of farmers and fishers in the country. On National Farmers' Day, the Government of Ghana gives special awards to deserving farmers and fishermen based on their practices and output. The theme for the year 2020 farmers’ day was ‘’Ensuring Agribusiness Development under COVID-19: Opportunities and Challenges’’.

The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research - Food Research Institute - (CSIR-FRI) participated to make farmers and the public have a better understanding of the value chain of food products and their role in National Development. It also aimed at assisting the youth to develop the concept of entrepreneurship among them. These are aimed at solving problems related to food processing and preservation, food safety, storage, marketing, distribution and utilization, and food and nutritional security in support of the food industry.

Thus, CSIR-FRI exhibited products such as Plantain fufu (made from plantain and cassava), Kokonte (made from raw cassava), maize cereal mix (made from maize, soybeans, and groundnut), rice cereal mix (made from rice, soybeans, and groundnut), maize grits (made from raw maize/corn) groundnut paste, made from roasted groundnut.

One innovation that stood out during the exhibition was the mushroom cultivation technology. The mushroom value chain was introduced; thus, kebab, syrup, pie, dried, and canned. Students were taken through various training modules such as fruit juice/jams training, mushroom cultivation technology, food processing, HQCF training, and chocolate making.
