Mr Joseph Boahen Aidoo, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) has announced that the government will distribute motorised slashers to aid cocoa farmers in weeding and pruning of their farms.
The distribution would be done through farmer cooperatives to the farmers as part of efforts to abolish the rampant use of harmful chemicals to control weeds on cocoa farms and also to improve on the eco-system while preserving the environment, he said.
