  This is a blight on Ministry of Agriculture. To allow such a produce go to waste is simply deplorable. It appears there are no plans to remedy the chronic problems of wastage. Why such lack of interest. I am sure some in Ghana has produced a thesis on this. If people in responsible positions are not prepared to do the job, they have to step aside.

  The government should simply ask schools to feed their students with the fruit twice a week. Hotels must provide their guests with the fruit at breakfast and as dessert. If this is done, market would be created for the fruit. That's my simple advice to government but because I am not a politician or a consultant, who would listen to me?
