  What do anybody expect from a seasonal crop. Harvesting time and dry season, what was the prices at the time of harvest. Do anybody think it fear pricing at harvest time.
  Lack of planning by government depts are to blame. How many tomatoes is thrown away because of lack of market.
  Government is not helping farmers, tractors and combine harvesters are not help to any farmer if he or her product cant be stored in Cans and plastic bottles.
  Factories or nothing for farmers. Why should anybody in their mind will sent sheanut to Accra to be process. Why cant the factory be in the regions that produce them. Cocoa farmer who has never seen cocoa butter, yet the government and the farmers thinks they have done something good.
  Why cant we have factories to enable us sell final products. We expect Cocoa beans and buy back Cocoa butter three to ten times the price. If cocoa cant go to UK and come back to us like butter, we should be so stupid in thinking.
  The survey is always the same because price are not the same in every town. Some people are harvesting that is why we still have some in the markets. Imagin ghanaians were able to store good without them getting rotten. Prices would go up if there is continue flow of goods.
  Factories and nothing will do for ghana. We have Oil Gas and cant use it. Shame
