Popular Ghanaian TikTok star and NPP activist Sheedon has broken her silence on the cocoa saga, blasting President John Dramani Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

In recent weeks, cocoa prices have become a topic for discussion after the NDC government revised the producer price of cocoa to achieve competitive pricing and address acute liquidity challenges in the sector.

A couple of days ago, some angry cocoa farmers protested against the reduced prices, triggering stakeholders to share varied opinions about the alarming situation.

TikTok Sheedon reacts to cocoa saga

In a viral video sighted by YEN.com.gh, TikToker Sheedon has criticised the president of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama and the NDC government for reducing cocoa prices.

According to her, the political party has yet to fulfil a single campaign promise for cocoa farmers. She claimed they are gradually losing ground and if care is not taken, farmers would sell their lands for galamsey.

“I just can not comprehend. The NDC has not fulfilled any of their campaign promises for cocoa farmers. At least they should have maintained the prices put in place by the former NPP government, but they have rather reduced them,” she said.

“NDC promised the farmers fertilisers, but nothing has been done about that. Is it that the National Democratic Congress is happy with how the cocoa farmers are crying?” She questioned.

The TikToker Sheedon further said;

“So will the NDC be able to go to the cocoa farmers to campaign in the coming elections? They are losing ground, and if care is not taken, the farmers will sell their lands out for galamsey. The government has ignored the cry of these poor farmers.”

President Mahama affected by cocoa price reduction

He further disclosed that fluctuations in global cocoa prices and recent adjustments within the industry had direct consequences for farmers, pleading with stakeholders to appreciate the difficult balance required in managing the sector.

“I planted cocoa on 50 acres, so I am a cocoa farmer. When the price was reduced by the government, it affected me too,” he said.

"I want to sympathise with farmers so that when we take policy decisions, we understand the impact and feel it ourselves. If the price of fertiliser is high, I feel it because I also buy fertiliser,” he added.
