Minority threatens naked protest if cocoa prices are cut further

Dr Isaac Yaw Opoku, Ranking Member of Parliament’s Food, Agriculture and Cocoa Affairs Committee, has warned the government against reducing cocoa prices any further, threatening a naked protest with the minority caucus if such a move is made. Speaking to cocoa farmers at Kunsu in the Ahafo Ano South West District, the Offinso South MP said the first-ever price cut in Ghana’s cocoa history should not be treated as a sign of farmers’ weakness.
