Members of Parliament from the Minority side have started their trip in the Ashanti Region. They will visit cocoa farming areas for a week.

The lawmakers want to see how recent cuts to cocoa producer prices have affected farmers. Frank Annoh-Dompreh, the Minority Chief Whip, is leading the group.

Their tour began with a visit to chiefs in Offinso. This meeting was a formal courtesy.

The MPs aim to understand the challenges faced by cocoa farmers directly. This information will help them in their work.

The Ashanti Region is a major area for cocoa production in Ghana.
