It would be better for farmers in Ghana and Ivory Coast to grow cops that will feed their countries and the rest of Africa. Maize, cassava, sweet potatoes and other root crops should be produced in mass quantities. These crops can be processed into flour as is already done in many countries. Planting cocoa for the Europeans does not make economic sense. They get top dollar for the processed products while the farmers suffer with low prices. Let the Europeans reduce their profit margins if they want to continue doing business with African farmers. The Caribbean has excellent chocolate makers and it is time for African farmers to join hands with their brothers and sisters in the diaspora for a better life for all concerned.

It is not possible to help Cocoa farmers when the government sets prices and completely occupies the entire industry. The European manufacturers invested decades and decades into developing thousands of confectionary brands that include chocolate so it is very idealistic and wrong to believe they can be replaced by “making chocolate in ghana”. The government needs to liberate the market and stop setting inelastic prices. Right now you need to prove you Can handle 10,000tons of Cocoa before you get an export livvenece from the government, This is pathetic and doesn’t help anyone

We can't keep exporting raw materials without adding value to them and import back what we exported after they have added value. Its time for us to wake up!

I heard that the white meat on the seed is good for diabetes, and the seeds has great medicinal values. We need to do more medicinal research on this coco. I am sure the husk has some industrial value, possible oil for energy. Get our scientific minds to figure out something. God is the greatest teacher!

Ghana is so blessed with everything, I want to relocate to Ghana and live in the farm. I first tasted crab when I moved to one Island in Korea, and now I love it and its so expensive..

Sir: The Coco pod shells when they are dry can be grounded up into a powder. Mixed with other stuff that's organtic it can be turned into compost. Then you can used the compost as fertilizer. You can used a cheap in expensive grinder for the shells. Hope this little info helps. Hey when I come to Ghana and set up my company I will invite you for a site down about business their. Take care.

You can use the pods for charcoal

[@evansdoe8374]

Dry cocoa pods are use for soda that is used in making soap ( that local soap)

[@tbdan3793]

The transformation of our agricultural production is the key to breaking out of the cycle dictated by colonization. In some regions, it is even recommended to return to productions devoted primarily to local food consumption. It is a collective duty (excluding sold politicians) to redefine agricultural value chains in Africa.

Cocoa pods ash is used to make organic soap called black soap. Locally called Alata samina.

[@chosenbygrace9925]

Well done Wodemaya! Those husks are used in making charcoal tablets. You can look for funding to open up your own chocolate factory!!! The tide is changing 💪🏾

[@djb.8507]

The govt must do more for those farmers and Ghananians in general but i do respect Ghana and Ivory Coast boycotting the Cocoa Meeting in Brussels because of the unfair deals that those western countries offers to producing countries.

[@wilsonjean7745]

what unfair Deals? first of all African puppetts are slaves. why do Africans have to go to Brussels and negociate cocoa prices with non cocoa producing countries, there is not a single cocoa tree in the Belgium, Ivory coast and Ghana are the two Top Cocoa producing countries in the world, Ouattara is a France Puppett and Nana Addo Akufo a British Puppett, so they are not there in the interests of their people, they exploit the farmers take their cocoa for pennies and make deals with the white men to pocket the benefits

[@prudentsolutions6093]

The government is only fighting for its interest.

[@innocentatsyor-sorwannii5589]

It is high time the government of Ghana realized that the western nations should not decide for us. Why cant Ghana government build cocoa factories in Ghana? Its because the leaders receive subsidies for personal use so as to keep deals with the western nations. We are still enslaved by the western worlds

[@djb.8507]

@@innocentatsyor-sorwannii5589 Agree with you but at the same time before you start a chocolate company you have to make sure that you have a market, especially outside Africa as chocolate products are not huge sellers in most of Africa. Plus you have to make sure that the cold chain is available and reliable/secure. Plus you have to compete with those big established brand/companies.

[@djb.8507]

@@innocentatsyor-sorwannii5589 Like you say the govt should be building the companies maybe in partnership with private sectors

[@officialedelrecords]

Highly informative. The government should see this

[@arellysritchieauthor]

And guess who benefits from the cocoa? Europeans, especially Belgium! The Ghanaian government should make it easier for cacao farmers to benefit from the money their cocoa brings in! it's not right that only the government enjoys the money! Yet the farmers don't get a dime from those millions their cocoa makes! nice video Wode Maya, on point as always,

[@ilovetoshop]

It's so sad to see how degradation of land can spread and affect so many generations to come

[@savannahexperience]

Thank you Wode Maya for telling the struggles of cocoa farmers in Ghana. I recently visited some cocoa farmers in their farms in the eastern region and I really felt for them after I heard all that they go through but earn less. Can you imagine they can’t even process their own cocoa that they produce 😞

[@pepiiv5131]

Is the government forcing farmers to plant cocoa? Why can't the farmers act in their own interests and engage in more profitable farming business? How can a farmer get into growing cocoa without first checking the profitability of that business then secondly continue in that business for 15 years despite having nothing to show even after the first 5 years? At what point do you ask the farmer to stop and consider more profitable agri-businesses? Is like standing in the ants trail and then complaining that you are being bitten to death by the ants? Do we ask the government to do more to help the farmer with the ants or do we ask the farmer to step away from the ant trail? Where is the evidence that farmers are being forced to engage in unprofitable cocoa farming for 15 years?

[@nmg1909]

@@pepiiv5131 You talk as if you don't know that govt controls the activities of these farmers. So in your mind, all these farmers are lying, even Wode Maya, right? I pity you from your statement.

As a British/Jamaican Ghana is very strong on my radar as a country where I want to reside and help the locals in whatever way possible. I am watching the guy climb the coconut tree and that is exactly how they climb it back in the days in Jamaica. As a people we are wealthy but the issue is that we have not harvested our wealth. Western Gangsters have exploited us for too long.

Bless you bro. I need to visit your farm one day. I live in the best chocolate producing country in the world and it’s amazing what they do here with our cocoa.
