The University of Cape Coast college of Agriculture and Natural Resources in the Central Region has developed 22 new varieties of Cowpeas for farmers.
This comes in the wake of reports that cowpea production in the Central Region will be far higher than any other region in terms of yield.
Previously, cowpea cultivation has not been popular among farmers in the region due to lack of variety.
The improved varieties have only eight weeks to mature and will be ready for harvest.
