Kofi Adjei<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE)
\nof Berekum, Kofi Adjei, has distributed 2,000 grafted cashew seedlings free of
\ncharge to farmers in Berekum and its environs in the Bono Region.<\/p>\n

It forms part of efforts to boost
\nthe Planting for Export programme launched by the government this year.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the beneficiaries during
\nthe distribution exercise, the MCE charged the farmers to make sure they put
\nthe seedlings to good use, since it would take only three years for the cashew
\nto bear fruits.<\/p>\n

He said with the launch of the
\nCashew Development Board by President Akufo-Addo at Wenchi, cashew farmers
\nwould no more be at the mercy of businessmen who buy the beans at the farm gate
\nat a ridiculously cheap price.<\/p>\n

He said apart from the free
\nseedlings that farmers would enjoy, they would also be given technical support
\nby agric extension officers deployed by the Ministry of Food and Agriculture.<\/p>\n

Mr. Adjei said the NPP government
\nwas investing heavily in agriculture and, therefore, beneficiaries should make
\nsure they took good care of their cashew farms, particularly during the dry
\nseason.<\/p>\n

According to him, aside from cashew
\ncultivation, farmers should take the opportunity to join
\nthe Planting for Food and Jobs flagship programme.<\/p>\n

He announced that for the first
\ntime in the history of Ghana, plantain was being exported to neighbouring
\ncountries like Burkina Faso and Cote d\u2019Ivoire.<\/p>\n

Besides, the MCE advised the youth
\nin particular to venture into farming, as the future belongs to them.<\/p>\n

He said instead of embarking on a perilous
\njourney to Libya and crossing the dangerous Mediterranean Sea to reach Europe
\nto engage in menial jobs, it would be better for them to stay back home and
\ncultivate cashew and make money within three years without any risk.<\/p>\n
