Olam Agri and Nutrifoods Support Akosombo Flood Victims
Olam Agri, the country’s leading supply chain manager in agri-commodity, and its sister company, Nutrifoods, a top food manufacturer in Ghana, on Friday, presented a consignment of relief items to flood victims of the Akosombo Dam spillage.
In mid-October, the Volta River Authority (VRA) began spilling water from the Akosombo reservoir to protect the dam from overtopping.
The influx of large volumes of water has raised levels, causing excessive flooding in several low-lying areas along the Volta River, including, but not limited to, Mepe, Battor, Sogakope, Mafi, Adidome, and Ada.

“This landscape is ideal for wildlife viewing compared to other natural forests in the area. The forest is more open, making it easier to see and spot gorillas and other wildlife. This feature has made sites such as Mondika one of the world’s most interesting spots for the study of great apes.
It may surprise some to hear that critical gorilla and chimpanzee habitats around the buffer zones of Nouabale-Ndoki National Park, are also where sustainable timber harvesting is practiced.”
