A Business Management Consultant, Dr Kwaku Ofosu-Asare, says the government must invest massively in the cocoa growing areas to improve social amenities there.
Opening up the cocoa growing communities with electricity, good roads, schools and potable water, he said would encourage farmers to produce more and attract the youth and investors to the cocoa growing communities.
Speaking to The Ghanaian Times on Monday ahead of the launch of his book on the cocoa industry, Dr Ofosu-Asare said many cocoa producing communities lacked access to electricity, good roads, schools, clinics and potable water.
The book titled Ghana's Cocoa Industry: The Role of the State, will be launched today by the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra.
