Amanase Chief Farmer appeals to Cocoa Services for Extension Officers
Amanase, (E/R), April 7, GNA – The Chief Cocoa
Farmer at Amanase, Suhum Kraboa Coaltar District,
has appealed to the Extension Service of the Cocoa
Services Division to help educate cocoa farmers on
good practices and methods of maintaining their
farms.

Opanin Alexander Asamoah Ampofo, 61, made the
appeal when addressing a meeting of farmers and
some officials of the Cocoa Services Division at
Amanase.

He noted that extending the services of the
officials to the area would help them to maintain
their farms to increase their yields.

He stated that when the “Extension Service” was
placed under the Ministry of Food And Agriculture
(MOFA) their farms were completely neglected but
expressed the hope that now that it had been
repositioned under the Cocoa Services Division
they would have officials to advice them.

The Chief Cocoa Farmer said the new extension
system involved programmes like snail farming,
animal rearing, bee keeping, gari and palm nut
processing, noting that these would assist farmers
during off-season farming.

Opanin Ampofo has his farms at Amanase Homeso
where he has cultivated nine acres of cocoa, two
acres oil palm, one acre citrus and engages in
animal husbandry.
