Dr. Fred Kyei Asamoah, the MP for Offinso North, has spoken out against the government's move to decrease the price paid to cocoa farmers.

He argued that the government did not need to lower the producer price of cocoa.

The MP proposed that a special support fund for farmers would have been a better solution.

Dr. Asamoah described the price reduction as a betrayal.

He mentioned that farmers had supported the current government because of promises made during election campaigns.

The MP's comments highlight concerns about government support for the agricultural sector.

He believes farmers should receive more consistent backing.
