Hello steemians,

I send you morning greetings from a peaceful country, Ghana.

Today is Saturday and I am so much enthused to be part of today's #celestialchallenge called Saturday Agriculture which is initiated by @sirknight.

Ghana is well known to be an agricultu+ral country. Our economy is built on Agriculture therefore we don't play when we talking of Agriculture most especially the farming sector. Most of the stuffs we grow for money are cassava, yams, cashew, pawpaw and many more. But the pillar of all which gives the country a lots of money and on which our economy rely on is cocoa. No wonder Ghana is the largest cocoa producing country in the world aside Ivory coast.IMG_20180409_085935.jpg

Because I wanted the world to know how cocoa farm is, I took it upon myself and went to a nearby village where they are well known of cultivating cocoa and the picture you see is a sample of cocoa farm.
