    Enyonam, thanks a lot for presenting this impressive interview session. Your guest was so intelligent during your time with him. The impression one gets from your interaction is that we have no excuse complaining about hunger in Ghana.

      Enyonam, thanks for all your videos. I love you, my Sister. Please, if possible leave the contacts of the hosts in your videos so that one can contact them if necessary.
      Please, please tell your host(s) to immediately seize from using glyphosate and other Roundup chemicals. These are very very dangerous chemicals that are actually banned in places like Europe. This ignorance will kill us in Africa. There are many and better ways of weed management: Mulching, mechanical weed management using tractors with weeding tools.
      Also we Africans should start relying on our own research efforts to produce our own improved seeds. This belief and dependence on foreign seeds is not wise. Personally I prefer all our sweet potato varieties than those American hybrids that are plain watery.
      Keep up the good work, my dear!

    This man makes me regret not pursuing Agriculture in senior high school. I really loved Agric in jhs but my dad thought I was too good for that 😢 I went and did business rather which I excelled but I loved agriculture, and always envied Agric students 😅. I’m currently doing 180 acres of cashew and other crops but I have to hire an agronomist because I feel like I know nothing and that really annoys me 😂
