THE DISTRICT Chief Farmer for Juaben Constituency, of the Ashanti Region, Mr Kofi Mpianin has vowed not to encourage any of his children to venture into farming, especially cocoa growing farming.

According to Mr. Mpianin, when he considers how he is suffering in farming but still get nothing from it because the government has given a black sight to the producers of cocoa in the country.

He stressed the central government has led the cocoa farming in the cocoa growing communities in the country astray to suffer by themselves and finally buy from them in a cheap price meanwhile the government has not supplied them with the fertilizer needed to make their crops productive.

"Cocoa which contributes in nation building has been abandoned by the government and the leaders of Ghana but boost of themselves that Ghana is the best cocoa producing country in Africa"--- He said

"Looking at how though our works have become nowadays, when any chance open for mining,l will handle all my 120 hectors of cocoa land to miners to use for galamsey because he thinks that will help him than how he is suffering.

He called on the government to pay attention to the suffering to cocoa farmers and amend things with them if not the youth will not have any interest in involving themselves into farming and that will create a great woe for the country in future.
