Is this admittance that NDC'S seedlings nurseries to replace low yielding trees were after all good but not as we were told by NPP during the electioneering year?

I received and planted 5000 hybrid seedlings last year. For this year ,l will need just about1500 to replace those that died but it looks like l will not get it. I am still paying my permanent workers for clearing the farm but there are no seedlings to plant .At least I know how to raise the seedlings ,I just need the pods for the hybrid variety but I am not getting that too.

What about pesticides.

What is the situation with the privatization of the Produce Buying sector? WE need to see improvement in that sector through improved business support in that industry. Else stakeholders will hold you to account. CEO will be kicked out, NOT pushed; foreign businesses who do not promote, induce and support the industry will be kicked out. You can't make profit on my sweat and toil.

Here we go again! No data to work with, information unavailable, we are working on it, we don't have this, we don't have that. No movement on anything, no progress anywhere. What is going on?

What's all this useless talking or blowing hot air instead of expediting action immediately to replacing all these non productive and aged/diseased cocoa trees? Why not form immediate replanting gangs from the masses of unemployed youth to embark on this project as soon as possible to boost our cocoa output and foreign currency earnings? Please, act now for a change!

This guy is underestimating the magnitude of the problem. What are the sources of his figure 33%? Or is it a guesstimate? The problem is bigger than his figure. He should collect data from secretary receivers about farm sizes of the farms and compare their yields to the acreage, This will reveal the real extent of the problem. It could be 66% or more. We need to stop being lazy and get our hands dirty. The CEO's office needs to moved from Accra to Fa Otwe Be to me tyre, where cocoa production occurs. Then he will interact with cocoa farmers and doing more than sitting in a plush office!!!This nonsense has been going on for far too long!! Cocoa farmers need small tech gadgets to weed their farm, prune their trees and remove stump in their farms. The days of cutlass and hoe farming should end. Do you have the solution for that, CEO?
