God‼️ 😭😭😭

They can even decide to set fire into it, it’s their own sweat. In your mind and their minds, they are hurting government but at the end of the day, they suffer.

I hear

Who does it affect in the long run🤣

Ghana

@kidd_spicy What’s the price of a bag of Cocoa on the global market based on Ghana’S current exchange rate ? @grok

@AcquahEfkab @kidd_spicy As of August 8, 2025, global cocoa price is ~$8,650 per metric ton. At Ghana's exchange rate of 10.60 GHS/USD, that's ~91,690 GHS/ton. For a standard 64kg bag (0.064 tons), it's approximately 5,868 GHS. Sources: Trading Economics, Bank of Ghana.

@AcquahEfkab @kidd_spicy Based on the cocoa producer price in Ghana, what percentage does the Ghana government pay cocoa farmers ? @grok

The Ghana government, via COCOBOD, pays farmers 70% of the forecasted gross FOB price. For the 2025/2026 season (effective Aug 7), this is $5,040/ton (GHS51,660/ton) based on $7,200 FOB. Compared to current global price of ~$8,650/ton, it's ~58%. Sources: COCOBOD, Trading Economics.

@AcquahEfkab @kidd_spicy Does the government give additional incentives to these cocoa farmers? @grok

Yes, the Ghanaian government, via COCOBOD, provides additional incentives to cocoa farmers beyond the producer price. These include free fertilizers, spraying machines, insecticides, hybrid seedlings, training/extension services, access to finance, and a new Cocoa Tertiary Scholarship Scheme for farmers' children. Sources: COCOBOD, Modern Ghana (Aug 2025).

These people are created differently, these are the men and their women are at kejetia market. Illogical reasoning is something true about them

You think so? Interesting

They will get tired… they should hire excavators

@Wee2cedis Find their contact and help them with your idea. That may help brothers in need.

I don’t need it… what they doing is antics and won’t go anywhere…

@Wee2cedis Did you listen to the conversation from the background?

They think they're doing this to hurt the government?

But truly that will hurt the government more especially when they've decided to cut the cocoa and use the la d for galamsey.

Both commodities are bought by the government or

One replenish itself within 6-7 months and maximum 12 months on peak seasons

But in the end who suffers the more

Entire Ghanaians, not those who have decided to Ghana their lands for galamsey instead of Cocoa

So why encourage them to do so.

Me? Encouraging them from where? Can you point to anything from my end that suggest that I back their actions?

"Half a loaf is better than none" This is peak fooling. You spend over 3yrs growing cocoa plants only to cut them down because you're getting 58% of the market price. Smh

Handsome explanation.🥰🥰🥰

All the ones he cut be bad ones make he go deep Abi cocoa farmer he can't fool me 😂

Oh, is that the case?

Again convert the new price per ton to ¢ using the exchange rate the finance minister did/used.

Don't you think the gov't should apologise and call their leadership on a round table discussion to put the issue to rest? We were all in the country when the gov't today used cocoa price to do campaign and promised them that when they come they will pay them Gh6,000 and more.

@AllenPeprah Apologize for what exactly? For bringing the exchange rate down or still paying them the old price when the exchange rates came down? Chale let's try and give credence to our education sometimes wae,you.

@AcquahEfkab Oh, sometimes I just don't get it.

Tell them the prices of cocoa per ton have moved from 3100$ to 5040$. Can you do that so that they can appreciate what's happening?

Even myself I dont understand it, how then do you expect me to go and explain to a cocoa farmer?

You're being mischievous

Not really. I expect the gov't to call them to order and invite them for a round table talks. If the Gh6,000 promised can not be delivered, try meeting them halfway.

Do you happen to know the current fob?

If you promise your child toffee when returning from a journey. All they know is their toffee after your return. They don't care whether you returned too early or too late. They will cry. It's behoves on you to decide to buy some from a nearby shop for them or leave them to cry.

How much do you think will be the ideal price for farmers.

So, who are they doing? Why didn't there cut them down 8 Years ago? Nonsense

The truth is, 8 years ago no one had opened their eyes tgat gov't is cheating them. That they could have been paid Gh6,000 instead of the Gh3,100. Again, no one had promised to pay them Gh6,000 to Gh7,000 when they vote them in power.

@AbdulMalikgh11 Oh, so it is actually politics that you're doing! They should be fooled to cut down their investments, they'll go home crying 😂😂😂😂

@AbdulMalikgh11 Funny I responded to the comment.

They’ve bought the land for Galamsey from someone and they are making this video as propaganda.

Same crush ma mine too say maybe they buy the cocoa farmer from different person purposely for galamsey. However, if the cocoa price wey the gov't promised them was given, I sure say like them no go cut am down.

@Nana_KDuah The Government promised them 70% of FOB price which at that time was around 6000. The Government has honoured its promise by giving them the 70% of FOB. The reason they can't get the 6000 is due to cedi appreciation and lower world market price. Let them know this.

@AcquahEfkab Yes Sir

All those saying "they're hurting their own selves" clearly didn't listen to what they were saying. These guys have an option to farm or do gallamsey and they've chosen to do gallamsey because the government is discouraging them, so what will they lose? They will even gain more.

The response I gave to few guys who didn't listen to the convo that went on. Assuming those guys had already bought the land for Galamsey, the gov't fulfilment of its promise to pay cocoa farmers Gh6,000 could have halted the galamsey, rather govt actions has escalated the case.

If you will sell your source of livelihood. And think you are doing someone, who cares? . In the end if you build a house in that township, you would have to order water from Accra to drink. So destroy the environment thinking you are harming someone

Instead of wasting energy to cut, why don’t they set fire to it

Föôlish 38% clowns 🤡🤡🤡

Make them cut all we don’t care. If they start doing gala too we go come for them

Don't worry, Cocobod is set to establish its own farm soon

Long overdue

Uhmm🤔 amamuo bɔni deɛ saa

So sad.

Their palms will be full of sores they should use machines

Lol 😆 🤣 😂 😹

If they want they should cut off their penis who gives a fuck about you animals.Fuck you generational fools.See them like dogs

1 minute : 11 seconds video is only meant to be like Agenda111 under Nana Addo's NPP. They should go into galamsey because Alista Mathias, Nana Addo's alleged gold smuggler is around to pay more than GoldBod.

We always trivialise everything, including everything. Sad.

We is plural including yourself. So what were your earlier trivializing? Rise above your 38% seriousness.

Ghana de3 everybody just de do what e de want

The government must have its own state cocoa farm by now, this wouldn't have been an issue.

And allow cocoa farmers the free market to to deal with their cocoa beans as well.

I remember when I was an extension officer, a farmer came to me because his cocoa farm was infested and he wanted me to go have a look and advise him which I did and gave him some chemicals. Do you know the next day I visited the farm it was sold to galamsey guys. I wept.

I support you boys, cut it all down!! After you finish start the galamsey, we go demonstrate make police arrest and jail you kwasiafuo all!! NPP party f00l you people too much.

Forget these guys they can't even weed the farm.

For the camera’s , them go Dey house Dey think of the foolish action they took Rule no.1 dont take decisions when you’re angry ..you go regret afterwards

Have you seen this one too?

I said it. Some of these farmers have already started selling their cocoa farms to galamseyers. I can understand their disappointment but acting in hasty is not the. Patience can move mountains. Don't think abt eating only for today but rather eating forever.

This started way back in 2012/2013 It peaked in 2015 when many cocoa farms were attack by disease. Many of them sold their to galamseyers.

And you think current event hasn't triggered more hasty reactions? Galamseyers will definately take advantage of the situation to offer cash for coacoa farms. The farmers are very vulnerable due to their frustrations.

So what if in the coming years and the price rise up? It’s very wrong to be a black man

We all make decisions. The aftermath of the decision their cross to carry, be it positive or negative.

THE NPP PARTY WAS MENTIONED IN THE NARRATIVE BY THESE ACCLAIMED FARMERS AND IF NPP IS THEIR CHOICE,DESTROYING TREES WILL NOT BRING NPP BACK TO POWER IMMEDIATELY.ALL THESE ARE THE FUNDAMENTAL AND CATEGORICAL MINDSET BEING BRAINWASHED INTO THEM,NOW THE BEST JOURNALIST IS TELEVISING

@consoleghana please talk to our leaders about this cocoa issue. The work that goes into cocoa farm isn’t easy to be cheated on.

Nature doesn’t forget and karma is real. You can get money and end up surviving on GMO and already processed foods. Wisdom is acquired, not bought

Word!

These are all npp guys purporting to be real cocoa farmers.

As if we are the one to lose . Funny people

Political settings by NPP.... Why didn't they use chain saw machine🪚 so we believe they will cut all 1,500 trees😃😃😆😆😆
