<\/a><\/p>\nBut the producers at Subi, a farming community known for\u00a0palm oil production say their business is yet to recover.<\/p>\n
One of them is 50-years old Grace Animah, who has been in the palm oil business for the past 15 years. She said the once lucrative business is almost dead now.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe middle men are the ones who give us the selling price. It didn\u2019t use to be so, but now even if you give them your own price, they won\u2019t buy from you\u201d, she told Citi News<\/strong>.<\/p>\nShe added that \u201cpeople come to buy from here to Accra and even outside the country. But they do not buy like they used to because of the news\u201d.<\/p>\n
According to her, the palm oil business took a nosedive when news of adulterated oil on some markets broke.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo be honest with you, we don\u2019t know where they even sell the dye. It is those who buy from us, who adulterate it. I was also surprised to hear that we put millipedes in the oil to enrich its colour. In fact, I get angry when they don\u2019t treat the palm fruits hygienically. I eat some of what I produce, so why will I put millipedes in them?\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite the current challenges, Grace Animah remains hopeful business will pick up soon.<\/p>\n
