It was during this time that I encountered a flier for one of GNBCC&#8217;s projects, the Horticulture Business Challenge (HBC), a program that aimed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in horticulture. Participating in this intensive 10-day event was truly transformative for me. It opened my eyes to a plethora of opportunities within the horticulture industry that I had previously been unaware of. The caliber of resource persons, mentors, coaches, and the overall support provided during the program, all at no cost, spoke volumes about the spirit of GNBCC and left an indelible impression on me.<\/p>\n<p>My journey took a significant step forward when, as an alumnus of the HBC 2023, I learned of an opening for the position of Junior Project Officer on the Horticulture Business Platform (HBP) and promptly applied. I was thrilled to have been offered the position, which I officially commenced on April 2, 2024. Though my tenure has just begun, I am already gratified by the path I find myself on. The working environment at GNBCC is incredibly welcoming, with a team composed of young, dynamic individuals eager to collaborate and learn from one another.<\/p>\n<p>In my role, I work closely with the Senior Project Manager, Mr. Barnabas K. Apom, and Grace Agorigo on the HBP\u2014a platform designed to unite all stakeholders in the horticulture sector, providing a shared community and platform to address industry challenges. Together, we have planned a series of engaging activities for the year ahead, slated to kick off in May.<\/p>\n<p>I am eagerly anticipating the opportunities and experiences that lie ahead and I\u2019m enthusiastic about contributing to the continued success and growth of the organization.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s to an exciting journey ahead!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are excited to introduce to our members, partners and friends of GNBCC, the newest addition to the GNBCC Team, Benjamin Eyram Agamah, who joined GNBCC as a Programmes Officer for the Horticulture Business Platform on 1st April, 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":12995,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[153],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12974","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-articles"],"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":13017,"url":"https:\/\/gnbcc.net\/13017-2\/","url_meta":{"origin":12974,"position":0},"title":"&#8230;","author":"","date":"May 31, 2024","format":false,"excerpt":"On the 29th of May, Naana Biney Ohemeng and Benjamin Eyram Agamah from our team visited Madam Catherine Krobo Edusei, CEO of Eden Tree Limited, as part of the GNBCC Member Visit initiative aimed at enhancing engagement and developing stronger connections with members.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;GNBCC Members&quot;","block_context":{"text":"GNBCC Members","link":"https:\/\/gnbcc.net\/category\/gnbcc-members\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gnbcc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2024-05-31_0_photo_5965356614187860843_y.png?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gnbcc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2024-05-31_0_photo_5965356614187860843_y.png?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gnbcc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2024-05-31_0_photo_5965356614187860843_y.png?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":13087,"url":"https:\/\/gnbcc.net\/successful-meeting-sunyani-with-hbp-gnbcc\/","url_meta":{"origin":12974,"position":1},"title":"Successful Meeting Sunyani with HBP\/GNBCC","author":"","date":"June 28, 2024","format":false,"excerpt":"Yesterday a delegation from \u2018our\u2019 Horticulture Business Platform (HBP) plus GNBCC\u2019s GM Tjalling Wiarda left for Sunyani for the 3rd so called POMBI Meeting.
