Why not.If it's for medicinal purposes let's go for it fully.
Cannabis offers a unique chance to move beyond traditional crops time to embrace innovation in our agricultural sector.
Eiiii, this one de3 with proper regulation and support, the Volta Region can become a model for sustainable industrial hemp and medicinal cannabis cultivation. The whole world eyes on Volta.
Better ban cannabis cultivation. Afghanistan has been the home of poppy for years from which they refine opium.
But Afghanistan with all the opium around taking over other crops, that country is not a rich one. Crime level i ...

I strongly support this initiative. a regulated cannabis industry could spur growth, empower communities, and modernize agriculture in Volta.
Medicinal and industrial cannabis is not the same as narcotics like opium or cocaine. Hemp alone has over 50,000 industrial uses..textiles, paper, construction materials, biofuel, animal feed, and pharmaceuticals. That is an ...

Afghanistan is not poor because of poppy; it is poor because of decades of war, political instability, and lack of regulated markets. Ghana is stable, peaceful, and is building a legal, government-controlled system. The outco ...

The goal is not to encourage consumption, but to build a new industrial sector for exports, medicines, and job creation. When properly managed, cannabis becomes an economic asset, not a social liability.
Well articulated Sir. Ghana’s agricultural sector needs innovative thinking, and cannabis fits perfectly into that vision.
This kind of progressive approach to agriculture diversification is exactly what Ghana needs to build resilience and prosperity. NACOC and the chamber should work hand in hand for a succesful roll out of this interesting prog ...

A strong call for modernization. If implemented well, this could mark the start of a new agricultural era for Volta Region
A timely and progressive proposal. Ghana’s agriculture sector must evolve, and cannabis seems to be a big part of that future.
This is a transformative vision. Harnessing cannabis could open up new value chains from cultivation and processing to global markets. Ayeekooo
The potential economic impact is huge. jobs, skills training, infrastructure, and investment, all good for Volta and beyond. This is so good
This is not just about a new crop, it’s about building an industry, empowering farmers, and stimulating local economies. Great job guys
I’m excited about the possibilities, increased rural employment, crop diversification, and stronger export revenues for Ghana.
Volta all the way
This initiative could redefine agriculture in Volta — bringing modern cultivation, value-added processing, and lasting economic benefits.
