  • Akufo-Addo woos cashew farmers

    Mar 19th, 2016

    <p></p><p>Nana Akufo-Addo has been fraternising with cashew farmers in the Brong Ahafo region, where he promised to revive the agricultural sector should he win the November polls. <br></p> <p>“I was in the Jaman North constituency, in the Brong Ahafo Region, on Friday, campaigning ahead of this year's election," the presidential hopeful wrote on his Facebook wall. <br></p> <p>“I assured the people, who are mainly cashew farmers, that the revival of Ghana’s declining agricultural sector will be a major area of priority under an Akufo-Addo government, God-willing, from January 2017. <br></p> <p>“If we are to make any meaningful change in the lives of the people, our efforts must be directed at this sector. <br></p> <p>“The majority of people can only feel a change in their lives when we develop agriculture,” the three-time flagbearer said. <br></p> <p>Later in the day, Mr Akufo-Addo also joined the chiefs and people of Suma Ahenkro to celebrate the Akwantu Kese festival. <br></p> <p>A recent decision by the Minister of Trade and Industry, Ekow Spio-Garbrah, to put a ban on cashew exports drew harsh criticism from farmers and MPs, prompting a withdrawal of the suspension.<br></p><p></p>
