The government agreed with the foreign buyers to buy 100 kilos of cashew at GHC 850. This fixed price stood for a while and now dropped to 100 kilos to GHC 3.00.<\/p>\n<p>The cost involved in picking the cashew seeds alone costs a lot. This has compelled many of the farmers, allowing the seed to go to waste at the farm.<\/p>\n<p>According to the farmers, the government should be in a position to buy cashew just like cocoa. Many of the farmers have the intention to stop the cashew business since it is unrealistic.<\/p>\n<p>64 kilos of cocoa is buying at GHC 800 while 100 kilos of cashew is buying at GHC 3. This comparison has killed the interest of several cashew farmers in Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>The question many keep asking is why the government of Ghana can buy cashew like cocoa.<\/p>\n<p><img
