Prior to his appointment with CSIR-PGRRI in 2012, he worked with Plant Protection and Regulatory Services Directory, Ministry of Food and Agriculture at Pokoase. He later joined Ghana Oil Palm Development Company Limited as Resident Entomologist/ Plantation Manager.

Most of his research activities carried out recently at the Institute has been focused on stored product pests such as maize weevil, larger grain borer, Angoumois grain moth and pre-harvest pests especially corn sap beetles on pro-vitamin A biofortified maize. He has also worked on Integrated Pest Management of legumes and vegetables. In 2014, he collaborated with other Scientists from some CSIR institutes and the local Universities undertook a research project titled “Integrated management of Plutella xylostella and Leucinodes orbonalis on vegetables in the Volta Region”. This project was funded by the West African Agriculture Productivity Programme (WAAPP). The study was relevant as the findings could be integrated into programmes and projects which put emphasis on developing interventions to increase cabbage and garden egg yield, improve the income and food security of vegetable farmers, marketers and exporters of vegetables and other stakeholders in the cabbage and garden egg value chain. This has also enhanced the visibility of CSIR-PGRRI.
