CropLife Ghana and Cargill Ghana trained 33 cocoa Farmers at Sefwi Wiawso in the Western North Region

The training started a day ahead of the scheduled date due to difficulty in securing venue. One Cargil Coordinator by name Bright was present on day 2 of the training as an observer. The farmers understood both the theory and the practical sessions of the training, with few challenges of reading of the pesticides labels and the toxicological band.  Another challenge was the transportation allowance of the farmers where they were claiming Ghs 100 per day instead of Ghs 20 proposed by Croplife.

Recommendations: Croplife should consider negotiations with Cargil to train their farmers on vegetable production as an additional livelihood to the farmers..
