Instead of the State buying from these farmers and stock them in buffer stock warehouses, they will sit there for farmers to suffer and frustrated while people import rice with foreign exchange for profit. Useless government.

SO WHEN WILL GHANA BE A SERIOUS COUNTRY ?

AL LEAST SUSPEND RICE IMPORTS FOR SIX MONTHS AND THE WAREHOUSES WILL AUTOMATICALLY CLEAR.

We don't even need government buying this surplus rice. A seasonal import suspension will automatically do the job.

I don't think that this is a true story
Many schools in Ghana looking for a rice to feed their students why no body contacted the hotels and the schools

Why can't you go those areas and see with your eyes to believe it? If Mahama cannot pay for the produce of the cocoa farmer, why do you think the rice farmer is of any importance to him?

All these rice farmers voted massively for NDC and Mahama so, if he doesn't care about them who else should? By the way. did you hear something like this when NPP was in power, be truthful.

If the government cannot pay for cocoa, why do you think rice is important to him? These are some of the reasons the Ghanaian going to the polls should exercise great caution to vote.
Did something like this happen under the previous government, if not, why did the rice farmer vote against that government?

I don't pity what the Ghanaian farmer is going through under this clueless government because they commanded that useless government to come and toy with their lives.

WHY IMPORTATION OF RICE? - ghanawatch 1 week ago

Why should the government allow rice importation into the country when tons of locally produced are lying in barns unsold?
No market for locally produced rice?
Ghana? Sad!!!!.

Pee, what NDC doesn't understand is the more importation they engaged in the more jobs they are helping with the exporting country to create. Now, if Mahama himself understand the meaning of his "Famed 24-hour economy" its foundation should be export based by supporting the local farmers to produce to export leading to "Demand and Supply" as the basis of 24-hour economy.

As we speak, they are rather engaging in importation by destroying the local producers, so what is the meaning to that?

How is it one can import a product for less than we can produce what we grow? The government should move forward to build regional processing plants and establish protocols for distribution to feed it's people and contract sales. Just jump start the business with coaches for marketing of the finished product.
