    Which money should the government use for development if all the mon6ney are given to you?. You need to accept the reality and hope for better in the future.

    They've accepted the reality that's why they're cutting down their cocoa trees to grow other profitable crops.

    So did you NPP not increase the price above Ghc3,200 when world cocoa was above $8,000 and the cedi was $1 to Ghc17. Your hypocrisy will kill you.

  • Divine 3 months ago

    Who cares? They can decide not to farm rice too its their problem?
    Cocoa is priced in dollars so when you multiply the dollar rate by Gh17 at the time NDC promised Gh6000 per bag, you will get around same if the dollar was s ...

    They should fall all the trees quickly if that is what they deem sensible. Me I do not have a cocoa farm. Let them fall the trees and farm yams and cassava and let's see who will suffer.

    I was thinking same. How can a cocoa land be used rice.? Maybe upland rice. But how much can an acre give you for you to cut down your cocoa for rice.
    People will surely live to regret.
