This bitter complainant has expressed his greediness and wickedness to his fellow farmers. Since when did he learn that it is compulsory for all farmers to belong to associations. So if an association chooses to buy from only its members, who buys the non-members' goods? These foreigners even travel to buy directly at farmgate at 85 Ghana cedis whilst you sit at your warehouse to buy at 102. Did you consider the savings in terms transportation, labour and time when farmers sell at their farms/homes? Who ever made this shallow-minded man a best farmer? Shame!

IF you give more price than foreigners then they will surely sell to you. Instead of speaking go get in to action, Meet those guys and buy from them, No body is stopping you.

Anti-foreigner nonsense again! When are these Ghanaians back home going to realise that millions of Ghanaians are also aliens in other countries, and they are remitting more money to Ghana than proceeds from cocoa and gold combined? Add the cashew!
It is clear from their own statement that the foreigners are filling gaps they have left through their own neglect, inadequate reach and cheating of farmers! It is just like how the banks in Ghana were providing horrible services in a few branches, leaving vast areas of even the big towns like Accra without banking services close to big pop. centres. In stepped the Nigerian banks to fill all that huge gap the banks have left, and the rest is history. If Nigerian banks come in, then Nigerian businessmen must also come in, and in they did, just to meeting with xenophobia from a section of the Ghanaian biz community which was failing to do what the Nigerians and other foreign nationals are doing, e.g., give credit to unemployed people to also start trading to earn a living!
Leave the foreigners alone. Ghana cannot become the hub of W. Africa without having the foreigners in. It is rather a boon to have them.

C.Y ANDY K. THE ARTICLE IS NOT ANTI- NIGERIANS. ITS AGAINST THE INDIANS WHO BUY ONE KILO OF ALMOND AT ONE CEDI.
LOOK IF YOU KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE WORLD OF ALMOND, YOU WOULD HAVE SYMPATHIZED THESE POOR FARMERS, INCLUDING THE CASHEW FARMERS OF NIGERIA. DO YOU KNOW THAT THE CASCHEW NUT IS BEING SOLD AT AROUND USD$7- $9.00 PER LB?? IF THESE INDIANS BUY THE WHOLE KG AT ONE CEDI, THEN WHAT DO THESE FARMERS GAIN? WE DON'T BLAME YOU. RATHER WE GHANAIANS IN DIASPORA BLAME THOSE IN POWER OR AT THE HELM OF AFFAIRS. BUT LET ME ASSURE YOU, THERE IS GOING TO BE A CHANGE TO TURN THINGS ROUND VERY SOON. IF YOU ARE DOING GENUINE BUSINESS IN GHANA, I IMPLORE YOU TO CONTINUE DOING. BUT IF YOU ARE CHEATING THE GOVERNMENT OF GHANA, THEN VERY SOON, THINGS WILL OVER TURN FOR THOSE FOREIGNERS DOING UNSCRUPULOUS, CHEATING AND ILLEGAL BUSINESS IN GHANA. VERY SOON!!

with any object for sale the buy wants the cheap price and sell the highest price..So if they are willing sell low before the crop rots thats their business to do so..

It is time Ghana takes serious actions in preventing bush fires. A law should be passed to that effect and offenders when caught must face the law.

Sounds like a case of Capitalism 101 is happening in the cashew industry. We say we want dev't - this is part of it. A competitive market. And I don't buy the argument that this is creating issues for the local sales. Cashews don't sell well in Ghana - they're expensive & people don't want 2 pay so much for a snack food. Fufu & Cashew Soup? I don't think so. Give me my groundnuts, please! :) If these buyers are operating illegally it's wrong but yet another example of how profitable corruption is.

much cheaper to buy roasted/salted ground nuts(pea-nuts) or Pecans..Even Pecans might be grown in ghana if no cold weather required and wood is used sometimes for furniture

Typical blackminded ghanaians have a culture of selling out everything to the so called abrofuo obroni from asia.Some are even willing to sell their children to this rasistic asians for a slant and go about telling how smart and lucky they are. With the corrupt and the bellyfull politicians we have in ghana things will get worse as we go further. When is it that we can have some patriotismin in our bloodstream.

This is not about foreigners, it's about illegal trading where foreigners are using their buying power to undercut locals ILLEGALLY. Some of the comments on here are jumping to conclusions and not reading the article. If you think it's ok for foreigners to act illegally then don't complain when Ghana is flooded with those who will break rules and regulations because Ghanaians look at money first and to hell with the law.
You wouldn't see other countries so happy to have illegal workers, breaking laws, even US and UK subsidise their farmers, yet some of us on this site blame local farmers and say they are lazy because I guess everything foreign is good....crab mentality indeed!!

K-Man, say it LOUD. Some of our writers just jump the gun and say anything without actually reading and understanding the underlying problem. We all know foreigners and locals, supply and demand, buying and selling so we should be familiar with conspiring and undermining. Most of the later is done by these foreigners in Ghana, especially the Indians, Lebanese, Syrians and now the Chinese. They form very secretive associations just to distance the locals from indulging in any lucrative trade or business to their advantage with the full backing of our corrupt leaders and officials. You might call me a radical moron, but I will rather kill than to be killed. Encourage our armed robbers to target these known businesses and conspirators that are a nuisance to our local economy.

There is lack of action by parliamentary Agricultural select committee because the famers association did not grease grease their palms. This only happens when Ghanaian voters keep electing selfish MPS to represent them. Public service should not be a vehicle to make money or for that matter become business as perceived now. Many MPS do not even understand what their role is to their constituents let alone the nation as a whole.
