The 2025 National Best Cocoa Farmer, Edward Kwame Yeboah, has shared an inspiring story of humble beginnings and steady growth, revealing that his successful cocoa empire began with just a half acre of farmland.
Speaking on Kessben FM’s Maakye with host Wofa Kofi Appiah, the award-winning farmer recounted his journey from a small-scale grower to one of the country’s most celebrated agricultural figures.
