Kenneth Appiah-Frimpong's Company Details
Kwadaso Agricultural College was established in 1922 at Kumasi with structures provided by the Cadbury and Fry which was the major buyer of cocoa in the then Gold Coast. The College was established to train initially young school leavers in cocoa production.The College trained GCE/SSCE holders for a certificate in General Agriculture and all learners were employed by the Ministry of Food and Agriculture until 1996 when the programme was reviewed to train the learners for the agricultural sector.In September 1999 a Diploma in Agricultural Extension Programme affiliated to the University of Cape-Coast was added to the certificate in General Agriculture as a result of a collaborative effort of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, the Sasakawa Africa Association (SAA) the Winrock International Institute of Tropical Agriculture in the USA and the University of Cape Coast.The certificate programme was completely phased out and successfully replaced with the Diploma in General Agriculture programme in June 2009. This brings to focus two programmes currently running concurrently; Diploma in Agric Extension and Diploma in General Agriculture.
