Kwame Asare Obeng threatens cocoa export ban over farmer neglect

Kwame Asare Obeng, also known as A Plus, has vowed to take drastic measures if the incoming government fails to prioritize the welfare of cocoa farmers.

The Member of Parliament-elect for Gomoa Central has threatened to expose child labor practices on cocoa farms by compiling and sharing videos with international organizations.

In a fiery social media post, A Plus criticized the government for neglecting farmers while investing in other projects like tree-planting.

He warned that these revelations could lead to Ghana’s cocoa being banned from the global market, pushing farmers into illegal mining for survival.

A Plus’s stance underscores the urgency of addressing the longstanding grievances of cocoa farmers to prevent further socio-economic challenges in the sector.
