 Bono East: Farmers Applaud The Government For The Increment Of Crop Yields 

The concerned farmers of maize and beans  in the Bono East Region have applaud the current government for increasing the price of their commodities over a decade.

These farmers are within the 11 farming  districts including Nkoranza north and south,Atebubu Amantin,Techiman north and south,Kintampo north and south,Pru west and East ,Sene west and East.

During media engagement with these farmers over ten years in the administration of the ndc at the era of professor Evans Fiifi Attah Mills and John Dramani Mahamah,the price of their commodities such as maize and beans will remained constant and sometimes dwindling at the market centers whereas making agricultural business unaccessible and unprofitable.

They said, more of the crops cultivated but in all at the end of the day more will be supplied but less income will be demanded from the market centers which these  ouput derived cannot be use to afford what  they expect in their daily activities as farmers.



Addressing their grievances in agric business,the farmers lamented the current government has assisted them in achieving their goals in farming, they said over  a years ago one bag sack full measured of maize was between Gh70.00 cedis and Gh200.00 cedis respectively.


But now in indefatigable facts, they can say that the Akuffo and Npp Administration for over 8years in governance has aided them making farming attractive and more profitable in which the price of the commodities jumped to Gh 1,000 cedis as current price gate

.

The farmer added though, there is global economic crisis, but they can say that this incremental has currently, even purchasing the crops at the market either one bag of maize or beans can get them  10bags  or 35/34 bags of cements for putting up buildings and to reduce their burdens.

Recent remarks made by Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, also known as Napo, running mate to Alhaji Mahamud Bawumia, represent a clear and dangerous attempt to sow discord within Kusaug. In a viral video, Napo falsely accuses H.E. John Dramani Mahama of plotting to divide the Kusasi and Mamprusi people, along with other tribes, should he return to office. These baseless claims are not only deceptive and irresponsible, but they also have the potential to inflame tensions and destabilize the peace we are striving to maintain in the area. Such reckless rhetoric must be unequivocally condemned. The people of Kusaug have closely followed the commitments of various political leaders regarding our area’s future. At no point has John Dramani Mahama ever sought to divide the Kusasi and Mamprusi people. During his visit to the Zugraan Bawku Naaba’s palace, Mahama responded to a request by the chiefs and people of Kusaug by highlighting the potential creation of a Kusaug Region. He described it as a via...
