The president of Ghana, Akufo-Add,o has appealed to the local people to cooperate with the government to stop the smuggling of the fertilizers.
He said that the fertilizers made from the money of tax money of the Ghanaians have been smuggled at very low rates and the local farmers are not getting the fertilizers which are their absolute right to have.
He also said that our project Planting for Food and Jobs have to expand rapidly and we are expanding it and was started with 200,000 farmers, today we have almost 1,000,000 farmers within a period of two and half years, this shows the enthusiasm of our farmers for this program.
He said smuggling is not only the loss of the farmers but all of the people and other sects because this is their tax money which is getting wasted and smuggled through the country and we have to work all together get rid of the evil.
