Minister of Agriculture teases game-changing policy intervention for cocoa farmers in the coming months 

Dr. Bryan Acheampong, Minister of Food and Agriculture, has announced that the Government is set to unveil a groundbreaking policy aimed at transforming the livelihoods of cocoa farmers. While keeping the details under wraps, the Member of Parliament for Abetifi emphasized that the forthcoming policy, to be launched ahead of the next cocoa season, will be the largest and most impactful intervention yet, discouraging farmers from abandoning cocoa cultivation for illegal mining activities.

Dr. Acheampong refrained from revealing specific information about the nature of the intervention, expressing the need to preserve the surprise for President Akufo-Addo’s official announcement. However, he reiterated the significance of the impending policy, proclaiming that it would revolutionize cocoa farming in the country and significantly enhance the well-being of farmers.

In an interview broadcasted on three Nkawkaw-based radio stations, the Minister emphasized that the government’s objective is to counter the prevailing perception of cocoa farmers as impoverished. He argued that when comparing the financial gains from illegal mining known as “galamsey” to those derived from cocoa farming over a ten-year period, the latter would undoubtedly provide superior returns.

Acknowledging the short-term allure of quick gains offered by illegal mining, Dr. Acheampong cautioned against the potential long-term consequences, such as the forced relinquishment of property. He highlighted the sustainability and stability of cocoa farming, asserting that despite the initial allure of illegal mining profits, the cumulative financial benefits over the years would be more substantial and secure with cocoa cultivation.

Cocoa serves as Ghana’s primary agricultural export and represents the country’s main cash crop. Nevertheless, cocoa farmers have long lamented the lack of support and meagre income derived from their labor, despite their vital contribution to the Ghanaian economy.

The upcoming policy intervention signifies the government’s commitment to addressing the challenges faced by cocoa farmers and transforming their socioeconomic conditions. As the details of this groundbreaking initiative are unveiled in the near future, it is expected to instill hope and drive positive change in the lives of cocoa farmers across Ghana.
