The Vice president of the Ghana Cooperative Cocoa Farmers and and Marketing Association, Mr. Theophilus Tamakloe has cautioned Politicians to stay away from politicization of the Cocoa sector.
According to him, successive governments must be restricted from taking unilateral decisions that negatively affect cocoa Farmers or disrupt Ghana’s position in global production.
He condemned those describing the current Cocobod administration as inexperience, saying the current Cocobod management have experience and competent officers to thrive the cocoa sector.
He also added that, he seconded the call from Hon. Nii Lante Vanderpuye for the introduction of legal protections to insulate Ghana’s cocoa sector from political decisions that could undermine farmers and the country’s economic interest.
