    People say there are no jobs in Ghana for the youth. The issue is the youths of today want fast money and not jobs. Farming is a profession that has never went of style. No kne wants to farm bjt we all want to eat.

  • Dug 10 years ago

    But. The govt keeps importing frozen chicken from south Africa. I think that is wrong. Government is really sabotaging the farming industry by the imports of foriegn produce.

  • poshman 10 years ago

    That is true. But it depends on the clueless govt.There should be changes in the land tenure system, at least the field needs to be cleared mechanically by the gov,t instead of using cutlasses which is seen as punishment, mak ...

    We're chasing jobs that doesn't exist.
    Those that exist we refuse to chase them.
    Farming may not be lucrative, but it can open avenue for other businesses. We got to give it a try.

  • wofa Koo 10 years ago

    Good advise, agriculture is important and way better than illegal mining. But next time use livestock (not animal farming).

    WE STILL DOI NOT KNOW,WHAT AGRICULTURE MEANS TO A NATION.

  • enchill 10 years ago

    Some people think farming is for the poor and the illiterate in the country. In fact our leaders - president, ministers, chiefs, etc. should also make farms to make it attractive to the youth b'cos the youth learn from them.
