Mahama to establish a cocoa college in the western north region

Establishing a cocoa college in Ghana is important for several reasons:

Skill development: A cocoa college will provide specialised training and education for cocoa farmers, helping them to improve their farming techniques, increase productivity, and produce higher quality cocoa beans. This will ultimately benefit the entire cocoa industry in Ghana.

Knowledge transfer: By establishing a cocoa college, valuable knowledge and expertise in cocoa farming can be passed down to future generations of farmers. This will help to ensure the sustainability of the cocoa industry in Ghana.

Economic impact: The cocoa industry is a major contributor to Ghana’s economy, and investing in the education and training of cocoa farmers can lead to increased yields, higher quality cocoa beans, and ultimately, higher incomes for farmers. This will have a positive impact on the overall economy of the country.

Innovation and research: A cocoa college can serve as a hub for research and innovation in the cocoa industry, leading to the development of new technologies and practices that can further improve cocoa production in Ghana.

Consequently, establishing a cocoa college in Ghana is crucial for the long-term success and sustainability of the cocoa industry, and can have a positive impact on the livelihoods of cocoa farmers and the economy as a whole.

The current presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress, Former President John Mahama plans to establish a cocoa college in the Western North Region if elected the next president of our dear nation.

He believes that such a college will help to improve the skills and knowledge of cocoa farmers in the region, leading to increased productivity and better quality cocoa beans. This, in turn, will benefit the economy and the livelihoods of cocoa farmers in the area and the country.

Mahama is committed to supporting the cocoa industry in Ghana and believes that investing in education and training for cocoa farmers is crucial for its long-term success.
