We have Minostry of Agric with huge budget, four wheel drives, bonuses etc for doing very little. We must be practical as a nation. There must be leadership and direction. Our leaders are so corrupt with both hands and head buried in signing deals like Atuabo Gas, just to give our country back to whitemen. Can't we have our president for once show the way and say we are going to produce enough to feed ourselves? We must stop these senseless payments to SUBA, SADA ZOOMLION ETC. We can turn things round. We need think thanks. Nobody is thinking anymore. Silly guys like Allotey Jacobs and Fiifi Kwetty are ready to chew anyone who speaks the truth butt we must look beyond the present and ask ourselves where do we want to be in 5 years from now?

Ghana's citizens are lazy. They want to live like a successful nation but lack paying their dues. Try to help in Ghana and you will robbed by family members, customs officials, police officials, chiefs etc.. Lands I bought in Ghana are all stolen, businesses I established have been stolen from till collapsed. Ghanaians are showboats, they talk big games and can't shoot. Almost, the average Ghanaian want to get rich quick and scheme to do so, thus the importation of vegetables not even exotic ones. The nation lack both long term and short develop plans that her productive citizens can buy into, let alone strategic ones that solves problems. Why didn't the government rather purchase tractors for the chiefs than the 4 X 4's. The chiefs are nothing but showboats!! when did a car became measure of success? but Ghanaians have made it so! Cars are a productivity tools that get one from point A to point B to conduct transactions. For this reason Ghana is deemed as a BLACK HOLE that swallows everything and provides nothing in return. Even common vegetables!!!!!!!

We have abandorned all our state farms and now importing even vegetables. This is a shame. Ghana was importing to almost all our neighbouring countries before the coup of February 1966 and some years thereafter. So the question is, are we moving forward or backwards? Nkrumah never dies, he said it. Forward ever, backward never. Mother Ghana is doomed. Ghanaian politicians have destroyed Ghana, both past and present. The ball that was thrown against the wall is now coming back to us.

"Over the last decade, there has been a growing U.S. trade deficit in fresh and processed fruits and
vegetables. Although U.S. fruit and vegetable exports totaled more than $7 billion in 2011, U.S.
imports of fruits and vegetables exceeded $18 billion, resulting in a gap between imports and
exports of $11.2 billion (excludes nuts and processed nut products). This trade deficit has
widened over time—despite the fact that U.S. fruit and vegetable exports have continued to rise
each year—because growth in imports has greatly outpaced export growth. As a result, the United
States has gone from being a net exporter of fresh and processed fruits and vegetables in the early
1970s to being a net importer of fruits and vegetables today." - copied from: The U.S. Trade Situation for Fruit and Vegetable Products by Renée Johnson, Specialist in Agricultural Policy, January 15, 2014
