The Member of Parliament for Offinso North, Dr. Fred Kyei Asamoah, has voiced strong disapproval of the government's decision to reduce the producer price for cocoa.
He stated the reduction felt like a betrayal to farmers who had supported the ruling administration. This support was based on campaign promises made to them.
Dr. Asamoah suggested an alternative approach. He proposed that the government could have established a special support fund for cocoa farmers.
This fund would have provided a buffer and demonstrated commitment to the agricultural sector.
The MP's remarks highlight farmer concerns about recent economic policies.
He believes the government's actions do not align with promises made during election campaigns.
