WE WILL CUT OUR COCOA FARMS TO GROW OIL PALM IF GOVERNMENT FAILS TO INCREASE A BAG OF COCOA PRICE TO GH1,200 THIS YEAR... Association of cocoa farmers in Twifo Atti-morkwa district threaten


Twifo Atti-morkwa District Cocoa Farmers Association in the central region has threatened to cut all their cocoa farms to grow oil palm if the government does not increase the 2022 producer price of cocoa from Gh660 to Gh1,200.


Speaking in an interview with Wassa East based radio station WASSAMAN FM, the 2020 central regional best cocoa farmer, Mr. Falcon Mensah explained that the astronomic rate at which the general prices of goods and services are shooting up in the country makes it extremely difficult for cocoa farmers to survive let alone to maintain their cocoa farms.


He stressed that if the government is really concerned about increasing cocoa production in Ghana, then, she should deem it most appropriate and a necessity to happily increase the 2022 cocoa producer price to Gh1,200 for cocoa farmers in Ghana else most of the cocoa farmers would be compelled to cut their cocoa farms to grow either rubber or oil palm.


Mr. Falcon Mensah also  lamented that, inconsiderate prices of agrochemicals, lack of fertilizers and Petro for cocoa farmers for the past two years are also major obstacles to cocoa farmers in the cocoa sector.

The the Assin Obobakokrowa D/A Basic School has not seen any major rehabilitation since its establishment in 1970s. Parents and residents in and around the community are appealing for urgent assistance due to the deteriorating condition of their classroom blocks .  The school's infrastructure has become unsafe, forcing pupils to learn under dire circumstances. Parts of the aluminum roofing sheets are rusting away, while their remains hang loosely on the tiny erected concrete pillars. Class sessions end abruptly whenever the clouds gather.  “Our roof is ripping off. And when it rains, it leaks into our classroom, so we have to end classes.  “When it leaks, our books get wet and we are not able...

How could you fall for a lady with such long fingers nails? – Kennedy Agyapong to Kan Dapaah

How could you fall for a lady with such long fingers nails? – Kennedy Agyapong to Kan Dapaah Member of Parliament of Assin Central Kennedy Agyapong is of the view that Albert Kan Dapaah should not be crucified over the amorous video with a lady identified as Chantelle Kujawu but is wondering how the National Security minister could fall for a lady with long and scary finger nails. The legislator making a submission on Oman FM indicated that he is “not clean”, neither is any man, hence will be unfair and hypocritical to castigate his fellow man for engaging in such an act. “Let the clean cast the stone,” he said but hilariously questioned why Mr. Kan Dapaah could not fall for something better. “I looked at the lady’s finger nails and wondered ‘what could National Security minister be doing with such finger nails?’” Like Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram Samuel Nartey George and satirist Kwame A Plus, Mr. Agyapong suggested that the incident was orchestr...
