Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire have agreed to form a joint committee to find lasting solutions to repeated security challenges that confront cocoa farmers along the southern parts of their shared border.
The agreement was reached last Wednesday when Ghanaian officials hosted their Ivorian counterparts in a meeting at Half Assini in the Western Region to discuss the issue.
It is expected to help bring an end to repeated complaints by Ghanaian cocoa farmers that they are often accosted by irregular Ivorian para-military personnel when ferrying their harvests inland across the Tano River.
