Little boy John Mahama has no clue of Ghana's problem. If Dr. Bawumia has not made that assertion that NDC has abandoned cocoa farmers, would John Mahama and his corrupt officials have visited this cocoa farm? NDC and Mr. John are doing anything to remain in power. By mere visit to cocoa farm does not mean NDC goverment care about cocoa farmers. What are their policies. Do they pay cocoa farmers on time.
Vote them out, for they don't care about anybody in Ghana.

There once was a man who went to a computer trade show. Each day as he entered, the man told the guard at the door:
"I am a great thief, renowned for my feats of shoplifting. Be forewarned, for this trade show shall not escape me unplundered."

This speech disturbed the guard greatly, because there were millions of dollars of computer equipment inside, so he watched the man carefully. But the man merely wandered from booth to booth, humming quietly to himself.

When the man left, the guard took him aside and searched his clothes, but nothing was to be found.

On the next day of the trade show, the man returned and chided the guard, saying, "I escaped with a vast booty yesterday, but today will be even better." So the guard watched him ever more closely, but to no avail.

On the final day of the trade show, the guard could restrain his curiosity no longer. "Sir Thief," he said, "I am so perplexed, I cannot live in peace. Please enlighten me. What is it that you are stealing?"

The man smiled. "I am stealing ideas," he said.

MORAL OF THE STORY IS THAT THE NDC HAS BECOME SMART BY MATCHING THE NPP BOOT FOR BOOT.
NPP CAME WITH FREE HIGH SCHOOL,NDC CAME WITH AN ALTERNATIVE.
AFTER BAWUMIA MADE HIS SPEECH TO THE COCOA FARMERS ABOUT INCREASING THEIR COCOA PRODUCTION IF THEY COME TO POWER,THE NDC HAS COME WITH A GOOD IDEA OF GIVING THEM FREE COCOA SEEDLINGS.

It's true that this is good program. It has helped my farm in Ho west district in Avatime biakpa .my only fears is the rate at which the bush fire is destroying our farms is very very troubling. I lost 30 acres out of my 70 acres last weekend to bush fire and other smaller farmers also lost their farms.How can they start again.
When I inform the district NADMO manager, he said I should produce the person who set the fire before they can help which is very discouraging. I want to thank the Hohoe district manager mr Emmanuel ofori of cococa board He is doing a lot to help us in my district

Opuni is a terrible manager. He messed up FDA and has done same to COCOBOD. The least said about Fiifi Kwetey who has failed at every ministry he has headed, the better

For every Minister that was appointed in the Kuffour administration was a special assistant. The special assistant must be a crack Lawyer. Certified by the Minister of Justice and Attorney General Nana Akuffo Addo. His / her main duty is to mop up all the traces of corrupt contracts that would be awarded. Ensuring that they sweep all the traces.

Is it therefore any wonder that they would ask to provide any fishy deal reported. Now the pot is calling the charcoal black

NPP and Bawumia just raised the issue and all of a sudden clueless and useless man called Mahama who calls himself a president of a country Ghana whose citizens are so timid that they cannot stand up for the country is taking photo ops to show that he is doing something. What a useless president!

Jagadu or whatever you call yourself. Insults won't change what the president has done. Go and burn the sea. Partisan idiot. Mahama all the way.

How many years have this NDC so called party being in Power? They just found out that they could improve Cocoa produce after Dr. Bawumia came up with the statement after visiting some Cocoa farms that the NPP will help the Cocoa farmers to increase the cocoa output yeild by some 500,000 thousand metric tones in ten years.
The NDC must know by now that we are quick learners. This time we will not fall for the NDC.

Kanawu, please read the article and appreciate the initiatives. If the NPP had initiated the free hybrid seedling that is in the system now the cocoa production would have been better. Ivory Coast started it some 20 years ago and if the government has started it let us all embrace it and stop the dirty politics and filthy insults.

When others are predicting millions, a whole president is predicting this inadequate number. How did Ghana do when NPP introduced the mass spraying and subsidies. We became the leading producers in the world. Now we are back to where NDC wants our farmers to be, poor and desperate, so they can influence them during election time. Ghana would have passed the one million tonnes should NDC have continued the mass spraying. The hybrid seedlings won't yield their capacity if no help is offered. Mr President, please reason like a true son of the north, not a child. Thanks

"…Ivory Coast, started with the free hybrid seedling to farmers some 20 years ago…"
20 years minus 8 years of NPP leaves us with 12 years of NDC. It certainly does not take 12 years for cocoa trees to bear fruit!!!

Cocoa to increase in ten years.!

What exactly does this empty statement means?

By how much? What percentage and where is the data to back the statement?

.Mahama's current budget allocated the lowest percentage of money to agriculture since colonial rule.From an average of 3% since nkrumah to Mills to 1% or less by Mahama. Under mahama,cocoa production has actually decreased each year while they borrow billions in the name of helping cocoa farmers. If you haven't increase production in 5years,why should we trust you now?Lying nation wreckers!
