COCOBOD Launches “Operation Save to maintain” To Secure Cocoa Farmers Future
The Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) has introduced a new initiative, Operation Save to Maintain, in Mim, within the Asunafo North Municipality of the Ahafo Region. This program encourages cocoa farmers to save money to support their farming activities during times of need or unforeseen challenges, ensuring financial stability and sustainable cocoa production.
Speaking on the initiative, Mr. Samuel Asare Agyarko, the Cocoa Extension Officer for Mim A area, expressed optimism about the program’s benefits. He noted that Operation Save would significantly help cocoa farmers and hinted at plans to introduce additional initiatives aimed at improving farmers’ livelihoods.
Mr. Eugene Amoah, the Cocoa Officer for Goaso, also highlighted the adverse effects of cocoa smuggling on the country’s economy.
Some cocoa farmers expressed their appreciation to COCOBOD for introducing this initiative, describing it as timely and beneficial for their operations and overall well-being.
