Isimemo ngo-August 2017, sabahlanganyeli ekupheleni “komhlangano wokucobelelana ngolwazi waMasu, Ukuhlela kanye Nokuqaliswa Kwephrojekthi”, ukuze kuthuthukiswe ubuchwepheshe bokulima kwe-greenhouse eGhana kwakuyisinyathelo esibheke endleleni efanele.
Lokhu kuvele ngemuva kokuthi ababambe iqhaza bebone ubuchwepheshe be-greenhouse farming ngesikhathi bevakashele i-Unique Veg ethuthukayo.IFarms Limited e-Adjei-Kojo eduze kwase-Ashaiman eSifundeni Se-Greater Accra, lapho kwakulinywa khona utamatisi neminye imifino.
Kunamanye amapulazi achumayo e-greenhouse eDawhenya, nayo eseGreater Accra.
Ngokusho kwababambe iqhaza, lobu buchwepheshe buzosiza ekuqedeni ububha kanye nokubhekana nezinselelo zokushoda kokudla hhayi eGhana kuphela kodwa ne-Afrika yonkana.
I-greenhouse iyisakhiwo lapho izitshalo ezinjengotamatisi, ubhontshisi oluhlaza kanye nopelepele omnandi zitshalwa ngaphansi kwezimo ezilawulwayo zemvelo.
Le ndlela isetshenziselwa ukuvikela izitshalo ezimweni zezulu ezimbi - izinga lokushisa elibi kakhulu, umoya, imvula, imisebe eminingi ngokweqile, izinambuzane nezifo.
Kubuchwepheshe be-greenhouse, izimo zemvelo ziguqulwa kusetshenziswa i-greenhouse ukuze umuntu akhule noma yisiphi isitshalo kunoma iyiphi indawo nganoma yisiphi isikhathi ngokusebenza okuncane.
UMnu Joseph T. Bayel, obambe iqhaza, kanye nomlimi waseSawla-Tuna-Kalba District of the Northern Region, uthe (engxoxweni nombhali) ukuthi umhlangano ubakhanyisele ngobuchwepheshe besimanje bokulima.
“Safundiswa ezifundweni, kodwa ngangingazi ukuthi lolu hlobo lokulima luseGhana.Ngangicabanga ukuthi yinto yabelungu.Eqinisweni, uma ukwazi ukwenza lolu hlobo lokulima, uzobe uqhelelene nobumpofu”.
Umhlangano wokucobelelana ngolwazi waminyaka yonke obuhlelwe yi-Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology, eNyuvesi yaseGhana, eyingxenye ye-Ghana Economic Well-Being Project, ubuhanjelwe abalimi, abakhi bezinqubomgomo nabahleli, izifundiswa, abakhiqizi bendawo, abanikazi bamabhizinisi ezolimo kanye nosomabhizinisi.
Uguquko lwezolimo seluyaqhubeka emazweni amaningi ase-Afrika futhi ukulima kwe-greenhouse kuzokwenza abalimi basebenzise izinto zokulima ezincane, abasebenzi kanye nomanyolo.Ngaphezu kwalokho, kuthuthukisa izinambuzane nokulawulwa kwezifo.
Ubuchwepheshe bunikeza isivuno esikhulu futhi bunomthelela omkhulu esikhaleni semisebenzi esimeme.
UHulumeni waseGhana ngoHlelo Lukazwelonke Losomabhizinisi Nokusungula (i-NEIP) uthemba ukudala amathuba emisebenzi ayizi-10,000 ngokusungulwa kwemiklamo eyi-1,000 ye-greenhouse esikhathini esiyiminyaka emine.
Ngokusho kukaMnuz Franklin Owusu-Karikari onguMqondisi wakwaBusiness Support, NEIP, lolu hlelo luyingxenye yemizamo yokudala amathuba emisebenzi entsheni nokwandisa ukukhiqizwa kokudla.
I-NEIP ihlose ukudala imisebenzi eqondile engu-10,000, imisebenzi eyi-10 esimeme indawo ngayinye, kanye nemisebenzi engaqondile engaqondile engu-4 000 ngokukhiqiza izinto zokusetshenziswa kanye nokufakwa kwama-greenhouse domes.
Lo msebenzi uzophinde usize kakhulu ekudluliseleni amakhono kanye nobuchwepheshe obusha ekukhiqizweni kwezithelo nemifino kanye namazinga athuthukisiwe okulima nokuthengisa izithelo nemifino.
Abahlomula ohlelweni lwe-NEIP greenhouse farming bazoqeqeshwa iminyaka emibili ekuphathweni kwalo ngaphambi kokuthi lunikezwe bona.
Ngokusho kwe-NEIP, kuze kube manje ama-greenhouse domes angama-75 aseyakhiwe eDawhyenya.
I-NEIP iwuhlelo oluhamba phambili lwenqubomgomo lukahulumeni olunomgomo oyinhloko wokuhlinzeka ngoxhaso oludidiyelwe lukazwelonke lwabaqalayo namabhizinisi amancane.
Kule nkathi yokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu kuhambisana nesidingo esikhulayo somhlaba wokuthuthukiswa kwezindawo ngenxa yezindleko zamapulazi, ukulima kwe-greenhouse kuyindlela eya phambili yokuthuthukisa ezolimo e-Afrika.
Ukukhiqizwa kwemifino kuzoba nomfutho ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nesidingo sezimakethe zakuleli nezangaphandle, uma oHulumeni base-Afrika benaka kakhulu ukuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe bokulima kwe-greenhouse.
Ukuqinisekisa ukuqaliswa ngempumelelo kobuchwepheshe, kunesidingo sokutshalwa kwezimali okukhulu kanye nokwakhiwa kwamakhono ezikhungo zocwaningo nabalimi.
USolwazi u-Eric Y. Danquah, uMqondisi Osungule, i-West Africa Centre for Crop Improvement (WACCI), eNyuvesi yaseGhana, ekhuluma ngesikhathi kuvulwa umhlangano wokucobelelana ngolwazi wezinsuku ezimbili mayelana nokuklanywa kwezitshalo okuholwa isidingo, obuhlelwe yi-Centre, ucwaningo lwekhwalithi lwaludingeka ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukuphepha kokudla kanye nokudla okunomsoco endaweni engaphansi yaseNtshonalanga Afrika.
Wengeze ngokuthi kunesidingo sokwakha kabusha amandla ocwaningo lwezolimo endaweni engaphansi ukuze kuthuthukiswe izikhungo zethu zibe Izizinda Ezinhle Kakhulu zokuqanjwa kabusha kwezolimo ukuze kwenziwe ucwaningo olusezingeni eliphezulu - ukuthuthukiswa kwemikhiqizo eshintsha imidlalo ukuze kuguqulwe ezolimo eNtshonalanga ne-Afrika Emaphakathi.
Ukulima kwe-greenhouse kuwubuchwepheshe obunamandla ohulumeni abangabusebenzisa ukuheha intsha eningi engasebenzi kwezolimo, ngaleyo ndlela ikwazi ukufaka isandla ngesabelo sayo ekuthuthukisweni kwenhlalo-mnotho yezwekazi.
Umnotho wamazwe afana neNetherlands neBrazil wenza kahle ngendlela emangalisayo, ngenxa yobuchwepheshe obukhulayo be-greenhouse farming.
Ngokombiko wakamuva weNhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene Yokudla Nezolimo, abantu abayizigidi ezingama-233 emazweni ase-Afrika eseningizimu yeSahara bebengondlekile kahle ngo-2014-16.
Lesi simo sendlala singashintshwa uma ohulumeni base-Afrika betshala imali enkulu kwezolimo nocwaningo lwezolimo kanye nokwakhiwa kwamakhono.
I-Afrika ngeke ikwazi ukusala ngemuva kulesi sikhathi sokuthuthuka kwezobuchwepheshe kwezolimo, futhi indlela okufanele ihambe iwukulima kwe-greenhouse.
