  Cocoa beans price on the world market has crossed $10,000 which is equivalent to 140,000 cedis per tonne. This cruel gov't has decided to pay farmers a paltry 33,000 cedis which is less than 1\4. Togo and Ivory Coast has always offered more than half the world market price this is when we're going to see the biggest cocoa smuggling never seen before.

  The world price of cocoa is over $9500 per tone which is over Ghc120,000 and the government is paying the farmer only Ghc 33,000?
  No wonder the CEO and workers pay themselves fat salaries while the farmer suffers.

  It is our stupidity that has made the politicians take advantage of everybody. I support NPP but I know NDC is not the yardstick. What they did doesn’t make what is happening now right. Use your brain.

  Talking about lies, provide evidence of cocoa price being $7000 in 2015. It was not even half of that!

  Nothing will change to improve the welfare of farmers, as long as thief Akuffo Addo is still in Jubilee House. That man is very unscrupulous and callous. All he knows and dreams of are the schemes to loot.

  16 bags make up 1 metric ton. 1 computer keyboard for the price of 15. But is there money to pay the Cocoa Farmers? COCOBOD is buying too many 4 by 4 vehicles.

  We shouldn't politicize the plight of cocoa farmers. They have been exploited by the nation since independence and all in the name of protecting them from swindlers.They should be allowed to negotiate their own farmgate prices. We're stealing from them by creating this huge and fake arbitrage. It is totally unfair. It doesn't exist for any other commodity or industry. It is discriminatory. If they formed an organization, they could sue and they'd win. We cannot continue to build this nation on the back of cocoa farmers for ever. It is the reason we cannot point to a single cocoa farmer millionaire family in this country after sixty something years of cocoa farming. It is tough work and they deserve better.

  After paying them peanuts for their crop I'm sure we'll go and chase them for income tax, they'll suffer the same crazy momo levy, even more, because a lot of them are paid with momo. They don't have electricity and no access to Internet to check the value of what they produce.
