The Minority Caucus in Parliament has intensified its nationwide campaign in support of cocoa farmers, taking its latest engagement to Obengkrom in the Ajumako Enyan Essiam Constituency of the Central Region amid rising anger over cocoa prices and delayed payments.Led by Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, the delegation met cocoa farmers and traditional leaders who expressed deep frustration about worsening economic hardship in the sector.Farmers accused the government of failing to fulfil promises made to cocoa producers ahead of the 2024 general elections, saying falling producer prices and delayed payments have severely affected their livelihoods and ability to support their families.An emotional moment unfolded when a woman farmer revealed she had used President John Dramani Mahama’s name to secure loans, believing conditions for cocoa farmers would improve. Her remarks drew strong reactions from the crowd and highlighted growing disappointment among farming communities.The chief of Obengkrom also criticised the handling of the cocoa sector, warning that many farmers were losing confidence in government interventions despite cocoa remaining the backbone of local economies.Speaking at the gathering, John Ntim Fordjour said cocoa farmers deserve practical support and fair treatment instead of political rhetoric, stressing the need for urgent interventions to restore confidence in the sector.Meanwhile, Isaac Yaw Opoku drew loud reactions after threatening to stage a naked protest should cocoa producer prices be reduced again.Minority Leader Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin defended the record of the New Patriotic Party, arguing that past NPP administrations introduced several social intervention programmes that benefited ordinary Ghanaians, including cocoa farmers.He assured the farmers that the Minority would continue to push their concerns in Parliament and across the country until meaningful solutions are implemented.The engagement forms part of the Minority’s broader tour of cocoa-growing communities as national debate over cocoa pricing, delayed payments, and sector reforms continues to intensify across Ghana.
