Dr. Fred Kyei Asamoah, the Member of Parliament for Offinso North, has spoken out against the government’s reduction of the cocoa producer price.
He described the government’s action as a betrayal of the cocoa farmers.
These farmers had supported the administration based on promises made during election campaigns.
Dr. Asamoah proposed an alternative approach.
He suggested the government should have established a special support fund for cocoa farmers.
This fund would have helped farmers without lowering the price they receive for their crops.
The MP’s concerns highlight ongoing discussions about agricultural support and farmer welfare.
