The Technical Adviser to the Minister of Finance, Frederick Amissah, has defended the government’s record on cocoa, insisting that the welfare of farmers remains a priority.
According to him, "We are not doing badly when it comes to the welfare of the cocoa farmer," he said on JoyNews’ Newsfile on Saturday, August 23.
Mr Amissah argued that the administration of President John Mahama has implemented measures that continue to improve the livelihoods of cocoa farmers.
He dismissed claims that Ghana is lagging behind neighbouring Côte d’Ivoire in terms of cocoa pricing, stressing that farmers in Ghana are equally benefitting from government policies.
