STEPHEN ODEI
FARMER FROM NSUTA WAWASE, GHANA
We make a living from farming cocoa. But money is often tight.
"Farming helps me feed my family. We grow maize and yams on our farm, and we have sheep and goats. But the main source of income for my family is cocoa," says Stephen Odei. He has to hire workers to produce the cocoa beans. "We cultivate an area of 12 hectares. At that size, labour is very expensive. That's why money for my family is often tight." The farmer is married to three women and has five sons, seven daughters and six grandchildren.
