The Ghanaweb news itself is the biggest propaganda ever. What is massive? And which Ghanaians have reacted? Are they farmers? How many farmers are on social media? This is how NDC is and will always deceive those on social media, that is why for the first time the Finance Minister announced the price in USD and tons and didn't have the courage to announce the increase in Ghana Cedis. The farmers are angry and yet Ghanaweb is telling readers that Ghanaians say the increase is massive. Lies, Lies, Lies.

Show me your friend and I will tell you, his character. Is Ato Forson a real nut or just trying to play tricks on some innocent Ghanaians? Look at a man who is a "Chartered Accountant" but befriend a cook like Jakpa, and what is the message?

Ato Forson, the cocoa farmer living at Abuom wants to know how much the government is going to pay him in cedis per bag so, come out with that and stop the wayside political gimmicks.

By the way, was the cocoa price increase, captured in the budget?

Idiot, Cocoa is sold in dollars. If farmers were getting 10,000 cedis per bag yesterday when the dollar was 15, today it would be 7,000 cedis when the dollar is at 10.50.

This is the end result of the voodoo economic recovery measures put in place by the government. What did the drastic decline of the solar brought to the ordinary Ghana? Now everything is expensive to b this country, dollar gas declined yet the ordinary Ghanaian farmer has felt next to nothing about the decline. Cost of labour and inputs have increased. This year no inputs were given to farmers and the government wants us to clap for them for this price increment? God save Ghana. What will convince cocoa farmers from trading their farm to illegal miners for payment they feel compensate for their toil?

I wonder what the writer wants to say. Quoting price of cocoa to the farmers in dollars.
Just before this season the previous government increased cocoa price from ghc 2000.00 to ghc 3,100.00
A huge difference of ghc 1,100. Even this, the NDC said it wasn't enough and that the government should have given the farmers a whooping ghc 6,000.00
Fortunately for NDC, they are in power now. What are they offering the farmers, ghc 3,228.00, a difference of ghc 128.00?
And the writer and the NDCs are saying Ghanaians are excited? Eiish

Thank you, almost all roads in Ghana are dead traps but Ghanaians wont put pressure on the government to fix them. Tribalism and partisan politics are most important to them than their wellbeing. Most of the youth in Ghana are just useless, they are happy with what they have or are doing, riding pragyia, galamsay, stealing and after using the cash for drugs and sex is all they need.

Some of you just write without understanding issues. Cocoa is priced in dollars in the international market and not in cedis. Convert the current dollar of cocoa by the exchange rate of last year and see the Cedi value.
A stable and reduced dollar rate should tell you that the Cedi value of today cannot be matched to the Gh 6000 or Gh 7000 promised as at last year.

By the way, why so much interest in a weaker Cedi so some few people can bring dollars and make more money while the majority suffer?
You guys should slow down on your appetite for higher dollar exchange rate. That's a selfish and self seeking interest

The scammers and their mercenary bloggers are at it again,the massive is GHC 128.00 per bag and so the US$ is thrown in to confuse and deceive the gullible and non-discerning.Some paid lackeys have drumming and dancing that Aban papa aba,the dollar rate has come down thanks to a combination of US Trumps trade war and dumping of US$ left by Nana Addo into the economy.Cost of imports have come down and the scammers are claiming credit but are quiet about the fact that the cedi equivalent of the foreign earnings including that of cocoa has also come down.Honest people would have come out to explain this to Ghanaians.

this is criminally unacceptable. Where is the GHC6,000.00 promised? The President and his party will be surely punished for this. No two ways about that.

So the so called dollar drop has worsened the plight of farmers. It's only a govt led by brainless NDC appointees and food soldiers which will think dollar drop is the solution to all our economic woes. Now, your useless dollar policy has seriously backfired. Prices are the same and even rising, export revenues are falling and you dare to issue huhudious cocoa prices in dollars. Pay farmers with dollars so that they can go to Abokye for ghc13.5 to the $.
