Atiepe-Anloga (Volta Region) — August 12 2026
The Member of Parliament (MP) for the Anlo Constituency, Mr Richard Kwame Sefe, has begun steps towards the construction of the Hotorwovi Street at Atiefe in Anloga to improve access to farmlands and facilitate the movement of farm produce to market centres.
The road, which is located close to the Anlo Technical Institutes, has remained in poor condition for several years following its demarcation, making movement difficult for farmers, residents and motorists, particularly during the rainy season.
The planned intervention is expected to ease the challenges confronting farmers in accessing their farms and transporting agricultural produce from the farming communities to nearby markets.
The road is considered particularly important to vegetable farmers in the area, as the sandy nature of the terrain often makes it difficult for vehicles to navigate the route, thereby increasing the cost of transporting farm produce.
Mr Sefe said the intervention formed part of his plans in addressing practical challenges confronting farming communities in the constituency and improving the livelihoods of residents.
“I will continue to address the practical challenges confronting our farming communities and improve the livelihoods of the people in our constituency. Improving access to our farming communities,” he said.
The Hotorwovi Street project forms part of several road interventions being pursued by the MP across the Anlo Constituency to improve connectivity, facilitate the movement of people and goods, and support agricultural activities.
In 2024, Mr Sefe initiated the demarcation and construction of an approximately 1.8-kilometre road linking Agbledomi to the Anloga-Anyanui highway. Similar interventions have also been undertaken at Anyanui-Wedeadu and in parts of the Tegbi Electoral Area, among other locations.
The road projects are expected to provide farmers, particularly vegetable growers, with improved access to their farms and easier means of conveying their produce to market centres.
With the 2026 tomato harvesting season approaching, farmers in the area say improved road access will be critical to reducing post-harvest transportation challenges and ensuring that farm produce reaches markets more efficiently.
Some vegetable farmers at Atiefe who welcomed the intervention commended the MP for what they described as a practical response to a long-standing challenge.
They said the poor and sandy nature of the road had made it difficult for vehicles to access the farming area, often forcing farmers to spend more on transporting their produce.
According to the farmers, improving the road would not only reduce transportation costs but also make it easier for vehicles to access the farms, thereby improving the movement of vegetables from the farms to markets.
The intervention involves the demarcation of the roads, application of laterite and construction of drainage systems to improve accessibility and connect the roads to major highways.
