Cocoa Farmers Ask Policy Makers to Do Less Talking

Nana Robert Mensah, Sefwi-Anhwiaso District Chief Farmer, has called on agricultural policy makers to do less talking and initiate scientific actions that would enhance agricultural production.

Addressing a farmers' rally at Bibiani at the weekend, he said the government's call on farmers to increase production has achieved little because of inaction from agriculture officers.

Nana Mensah said there should be a purposeful education right from the primary school to make the youth appreciate the importance of agriculture and thereby dispose them to go into farming.

He expressed farmers' gratitude to the government for increasing the producer price of cocoa and the mass spraying of cocoa farms and pledged the solidarity of farmers for the government.
