Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO), the running mate of NPP flagbearer, has guaranteed that the government will shortly release the producer price for cocoa beans for the 2024–2025 season.
He urged the cocoa farmers not to be duped by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) over cocoa pricing while on his campaign tour across the Ahafo Region’s Asunafo South and North constituencies.
He emphasized that the NPP administration is the only one that truly cares about their well-being.
During a campaign event in the Asunafo South Constituency’s Nobekaw, Dr. Opoku Prempeh stressed the importance of the current Member of Parliament, Eric Opoku, in representing the NPP on matters related to agriculture and cocoa.
He stated, “The NPP has increased cocoa prices from over 400 cedis to over 2,000 cedis in the last seven years, and very soon, cocoa prices will go up again to bring more value to farmers.”
