President John Dramani Mahama visited the farm of the 2013 National Best Young Cocoa Farmer on his farm in Assin Sienchem in the Central Region as part of activities to mark his two years in office.
The President took this measure to motivate young people to venture into agriculture.

In an interview with Starr Fm, Samuel Torbi, the young cocoa farmer expressed his gratitude to the President for his visit. He said the Presidential visit was a blessing to his life and stated,
“First I will like to say his visit is a blessing from God. He promised me some time ago when I went with other farmers to the flagstaff House to thank him for increasing the purchasing price for cocoa, but I thought he didn’t mean it.
I’m very happy. In my community here, there will be a great change because all the young people will now realise that if they work hard, the president will visit them,” he added.
