Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has received a report from the minority committee led by Frank Annoh-Dompreh after their tour and engagement with our dear cocoa farmers.
In 2017, when global cocoa prices fell, the NPP stood between the market and the farmer. Prices were NOT cut. Farmers were protected.
Today, as cocoa farmers cry out again, Dr. Bawumia has received the Minorityβs committee report, which contains the feedback and recommend from the cocoa farmers, and history is about to repeat itself.
Dr. Bawumia has referred the findings to the NPP Policy Committee on Agriculture & Food Security, to study and propose credible policy alternatives for his consideration.
The cocoa farmer will not be abandoned.
A policy announcement is coming. And it will bring smiles back to the faces of Ghanaβs cocoa farmers.
