  Thank you for your comments. If care is not taken, Ghana will be number ten producer of cocoa. We must encourage our farmers and not kill their interest. We must learn from other countries on how they encourage their farmers.

  Mr Joe Jackson,all that you said about Cocobod is known to all discerning Ghanaians and is no news,the world market price of cocoa has fallen and it's no fault of Cocobod but this has been exacerbated by the steroid induced value of the cedi which has drastically reduced the export revenues of Cocobod and other exporters and you know it,when Ken Ofori-Atta went on his borrowing spree you warned and criticised it and when bam Covid-19 arrived and we could not pay our creditors you rightfully referred to your earlier warnings,why then have you kept quiet when this government was unwisely pumping forex into the economy in a vain attempt at so-càlled stabilisation,this is partly to blame for Cocobod's present challenges,meanwhile the cedi steroid inducement has cost the country $10billion according to BoG governor,Joe you know what this colossal amount in capable hands could have done but it's been wasted and now on the verge of decimating our cocoa farms,Joe you and others who were vocal during Nana Addo's era and are quiet today must bow down your heads in shame at your hypocrisy,it is your credibility that being eroded, per chance how much have you received?
