COCOBOD chief says bonus
is ready
Mankranso (Ash), Dec 8, GNA - "Bo Ho Bio,"
literally meaning 'Hit There Again," was the
spontaneous shout that came from farmers when Mr
Isaac Osei, the Chief Executive of the Ghana
Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) announced that bonus was
ready.
The over 100 cocoa farmers were excited to hear
the pronouncement and therefore called for a
repetition of the statement.
It happened at Mankranso in the Ahafo-Ano South
District when the Chief Executive met the cocoa
farmers and officials of the Licensed Buying
Companies (LBCs) in the district on Tuesday.
Mr Osei warned against the use of unapproved
chemicals and said chemicals should be purchased
from COCOBOD.
He said child labour, improper fermentation
periods and operating without passbooks and
Akuafo Cheques were wrong practices that farmers
should avoid.
Mr Joseph Osae Awuku, the District Manager of
the Quality Control Division (QCD), urged the
farmers to co-operate with the division.
