Selling of freely-distributed Cashew seedlings is “Very Criminal” – MP for Tano North

Member of Parliament (MP) for Tano North Constituency, Mrs. Freda Prempeh

The Member of Parliament (MP) for Tano North Constituency, Mrs. Freda Prempeh described the selling of freely distributed Cashew seedlings as a criminal act.

Mrs. Prempeh who doubles as the Deputy Minister of Gender, Children, and Social protection cautioned farmers to refrain from selling cashew seedling distributed by the government for planting.

The MP made this call when she distributed 150,000 improved seedlings at a cost of GHS 450,000.00 to cashew farmers at Duayaw-Nkwanta in the Tano North Municipality of the Ahafo Region.

According to Mrs. Prempeh, “the free distribution of the cashew seedlings formed part of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s flagship programme ‘Planting for Export and Rural Development’, (PERD) to create wealth and minimize poverty, particularly among farmers in rural communities.”

Expressing her disappointment, the MP intimated, “some unpatriotic farmers were selling what was supposed to benefit not only themselves but the nation in general” and therefore condemned that action as “very criminal” which warranted the arrest and prosecution to serve as a deterrent to others.”

She added that “Agricultural Extension Agents (AEAs) have been empowered to monitor and investigate” such incidents to cause the arrest of alleged perpetrators to ensure the achievement of the PERD objectives in the Municipality.

Mrs. Prempeh said “each farmer received 40 seedlings earmarked for an acre of land”, adding that “farmers could plant more than an acre if the AEAs give the green light for additional seedlings.”

She entreated those farmers without adequate planting knowledge to call for the assistance of the AEAs to follow the right procedure regarding the method of cultivation and other farming best practices for a fruitful harvest because a seedling in maturity could produce a bag of cashew seed, the MP added.

Mrs. Prempeh said the seedlings were of high-quality type because it was grafted by the Wenchi Agricultural Research Institute and could be harvested within three years of sowing.

She said the effort was being made for Tano North and Ahafo Region generally to become one of the largest cashew producing regions in the country.

Last year more than 100,000 cashew seedlings were distributed to farmers, the MP said and expressed the hope that more farmers would benefit from that package next year.

Mrs. Prempeh announced “plans were underway to add cocoa and mango seedlings to the cashew distribution” and therefore urged the farmers to vote massively to retain President Akufo-Addo and also give her the mandate again as their MP in the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections on December 7 to sustain the progress being made in the lives of Ghanaians.

Recently, President Akuffo-Addo inaugurated the Tree Crops Development Authority, whose focus will be on the development of tree crops. The President identified the Authority as “the legal and institutional outcome of PERD” and “it will lead the agenda for diversification of Ghana’s agriculture by developing the tree crops sector.” The Tree Crops Development Authority has a focus on seven tree crops namely cashew, mango, shea, cocoa, oil palm, coffee, and
