Nana Bekoe Ahwireng, Chief of Mpaem in the New Juaben North Municipality, has called for a critical look at the living conditions of ageing cocoa farmers and make the industry attractive to young people.
"The cocoa industry is full of elderly people and the youth are hesitating to go into it because the living conditions of their parents in the communities are nothing to show that cocoa farming is rewarding," he said.
