What gives Spio Garbrah the right to talk down on us like that? Calling all of us lazy fools?
What nonsense.

What are we going to feed the goats with? Ghana does not care about practices, China cares! Our inspection agencies act with their heads burried in the ground, thinking that we live in a village called Ghana. When foreigners visit Ghana, they look at our practices and the way we live. The EPA, GSA, FDA and all the inspection agencies are sleeping.

Instead of using his time moving from one radio station to another to insult Ghanaians. What has Fiavi's contribution been to agric as minister of agriculture? How has he acquitted himself in the agric ministry?

2015 isn't the year of goat, but the year of sheep. Moreover, there's no goat among the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac.

Everything is not about export. Ghana needs more meat. China has more goats than Ghana. Worse, the Min of Agric has no clue about how to help the livestock sector

the chinese are known to eat anything that moves. if it can move, it will have to be eaten....ants, cockroaches, lizards, frogs, millepedes, worms, anything. so don't restrict it to goats.

Sometimes when some of us are in a position of trust we speak as if we do not sleep on a pillow. How can you advise Ghanaians to rear goats for China just because you think it is the year of the goat. Do we evolve policy because of these things. When it is the year of the snake, would we rear snakes also?
Goat rearing takes no less than 6months, requires a lot of planning to have a successful venture and many more effort to have a secure buyer, not to talk of pricing, which may be quite high taking into account the escalating cost of local inputs. Spio should come again on this one.

There is nothing wrong with teaching the Chinese how to make good pepper soup to boost demand for real Ghana he-goats (aka aponkye dwan, russian tanker, DC 10, abrekyere etc)!

Goat rearing is indeed profitable...only few Ghanaians knows this...if you keep rubbishing every idea made from others you don't like just don't comment for others also to know the level of your standard....

The richest country in the world and yet the poorest. The land, only the fertile land alone is enough to make us comfortable if we would work hard. All of you agents of corruption in the capital and other cities who call honest cocoa farmers names(kokoasefo), do you see the real picture now? All the youth in the cities without good jobs, put yourselves together and seek help from the gov, acquire large land and do something for yourselves. It is better to work for yourselves than to work for someone. If you are "men" do what men do, do what our brave grand fathers and mothers did, go to sea and battle the large unfriendly waves to bring fish for your countrymen or go to the wild forest and through hard work become rich.
