PRESIDENT John Dramani Mahama has appealed to cocoa farmers to take advantage of the Cocoa Rehabilitation Project and replace all their old cocoa plants with hybrid ones.
He said whereas the old cocoa trees did not produce beans early, the new hybrid seedlings being distributed under the Cocoa Rehabilitation Project could mature within two years after they had been planted.
He has, therefore, asked cocoa farmers to register with the Cocoa Rehabilitation Project to enable them to benefit from the project.
President Mahama made the appeal at a durbar marking the Akwanbo festival of the chiefs and people of the Agona Traditional Area at Nyakrom in the Central Region.
