Hello steemians,
it's such a wonderful day on @sirknight celestialchallenge.Am focusing on the immense effort of THE PEOPLE OF KWAMAN IN THE SEKYERE CENTRAL DISTRICT OF ASHANTI REGION

Cocoa is the chief agricultural export of Ghana and the country's main cash crop.Behind Ivory Coast, Ghana is the second largest cocoa exporter in the world.Cocoa cultivation is not native to the country;Ghana's cocoa production is noted within the developing world to be one of the most modeled commodities.

Cocoa production occurs in the country's forested areas: Ashanti Region, Brong-Ahafo Region, Central Region, Eastern Region, Western Region, and Volta Region, where rainfall is 1,000-1,500 millimeters per year. The crop year begins in October, when purchases of the main crop begin, with a smaller mid-crop cycle beginning in July. All cocoa, except that which is smuggled out of the country, is sold at fixed prices to the Cocoa Marketing Board. Although most cocoa production is carried out by peasant farmers on plots of less than three hectares, a small number of farmers appear to dominate the trade. Indeed, some studies show that about one-fourth of all cocoa farmers receive just over half of total cocoa income.

The peasant farmers in Kwaman are putting in every effort to upgrade the level of cocoa cultivation in Ghana.The government's initiative for a policy dubbed planting for food and jobs has gone down well with the people of Sekyere Kwaman. They have produced thousands of cocoa seedlings which is a step in the right direction.

Below are some images of the seedlings....

Thanks for reading,
