The planting and sale of oranges which used to provide jobs for families in and around Obuasi in the Adansi District of the Ashanti Region is no longer vibrant due to ‘galamsey’ (illegal mining) in the area.
Some pioneers of the business told
The Mirror that most of the orange farm owners had given out their farms to galamsey operators in exchange for huge sums of money.
According to some of these farm owners, leasing orange farmlands to galamsey operators was a quick way to make money as compared to planting oranges which took many years to mature for harvest.
