The Member of Parliament for Offinso North, Dr. Fred Kyei Asamoah, has spoken out against the government's decision to reduce the producer price of cocoa.
Dr. Asamoah described the government's action as a betrayal of cocoa farmers.
He said these farmers had backed the current administration due to promises made during election campaigns.
The MP proposed that instead of cutting the price, the government could have established a special support fund for the farmers.
This fund would have provided a safety net for farmers facing economic challenges.
Dr. Asamoah's comments highlight a disagreement over agricultural policy and its impact on vital farming communities.
