The morning is bright and the day's activities has started. People are going to work. All activities remain normal.
We are all waiting for the arrival of the president.
Cashew being the main booming business activity for Wenchi and its surrounding towns and villages. Cashew farming has become one of the most generating economic income activity to the people here and to the government at large.
The economic importance of bringing down unemployment rate in Ghana, as the cashew activities tends to engage a huge number of people as farmers, procurement officers, agents, drivers and labourers. Companies from around the globe have employed a lot of people(permanent and casual) to buy the cashew nut on their behalf.
Everyone is creating his or her indulgence in cashew farming/buying as it has become main and or additional source of income to some people.
Others too have seen it as an investment opportunity for their money.
The time has come for the necessary attention to be given to the cashew sector. This brings the president to Wenchi today 20th February, 2018. The President will be launching a Ten (10) year developing plan for cashew activities.
Expectations are high as the people speculate for at least a three (3) legs developing plan.
Thus how the plan affects the farmers, the buyers (buying company) and the government participation, all against a considerable price per kilo.
Until when the plan is fully discussed to the public, I hold my breath.
Welcome Mr. President to my town.
