FARMER SUPPORTS FREE SHS WITH FIVE BAGS OF COCOA ANNUALLY

FARMER SUPPORTS FREE SHS WITH FIVE BAGS OF COCOA ANNUALLY

 

A cocoa farmer at Goka in the Jaman North District of the Brong-Ahafo Region, has pledged to support the Free Senior High School policy with five bags of cocoa every year.

The 70 years old farmer, Nana Twen Adu-Asare who has been farming for the past forty 40 years and has over 40 acres of cocoa, says he did not get education because of poverty so he want to help children of poor parents to get free education.

He said  every year he will  give moneys from the sale of five cocoa bags to the government as his contribution to Free SHS.

Nana Adu-Asare says the support will continue till he dies.

The farmer asked the government especially Agriculture Ministry to take a good look at the cocoa sector and support farmers with loans so they do not divert to growing cashew.

He also urged government to stop issuing mining licenses because mining is causing more destruction than the money we make from it.
