‘Show us a single policy you introduced to improve Agric’ – Akufo-Addo dares NDC

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo has challenged the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to show any policy implemented during their tenure to improve agricultural productivity.

Speaking at a durbar held in Daboase, the capital of the Wassa East District, as part of his two-day tour in the Western Region, President Nana Addo argued that NDC government failed to sustain gains chalked by former President Kufour’s administration in Cocoa production and other areas of agriculture in the country.

“I want to hear from them what they are going to say to this challenge. We’re challenging them to come and tell us what they have done that has boosted agricultural production, cocoa production in Ghana” he dares.

He hastens to add that ” I can tell you the answer in advance-zero, zero, that’s the answer!”

The President’s remarks followed a rebuttal made by the Chief Executive Officer of COCOBOD, Joseph Boahene Aidoo, to a recent claim by former President Mahama during his tour in the Western North Region, that the NDC government offered a better alternative to improve cocoa production and the lives of farmers, than the Nana Addo led government.

Mr Boahene Aidoo told cocoa farmers at the durbar that cocoa production witnessed a decline during the NDC tenure despite its inheritance of a rather booming cocoa sector.

“President Kuffour introduced mass cocoa spraying, cocoa Hi-Tech, cocoa fertilisers,.. this was subsidised. Late Prof Mills continued the subsidized fertilizer programme but Mahama chose to discontinue and made it free. Even with that we were only recorded a 740,000 tonnes of cocoa production, a decline from the 1 million record high that was achieved in the early years of late Prof. Mills. That record was even as a result of those interventions that Kufour introduced” he stated.

Mr Boahene continued that Ivory Coast attained a record high of 1.8 million tonnes of cocoa, from a 1.1 million tonnes just when Mahama introduced free fertiliser programme.
