The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Managing Director of Dr. Amagashie Herbal Center, Apostle Dr. Samuel Amagashie has made appealing to the government to set up a development fund to support the herbal industry to make it thrive and earn foreign exchange.
According to Dr. Amagashie, such fund could be used to support research and development activities, put up physical infrastructure and procure other logistics to enhance the quality of herbal products.
He stated also that, traditional herbal sector was made up of indigenous people who had little or no resource to develop the knowledge hence the call for a dedicated fund to support them.
