Ghana, Africa, has worked in recent years to encourage farmers to replant coffee, offering free coffee seedlings last year to attract farmers to cultivate coffee fields, hoping to increase exports and export, while reducing unemployment among young people in the country.

Many people are used to drinking a cup of mellow coffee when they wake up in the morning, and 80-year-old coffee farmer Afadi is no exception. Coffee was introduced to Ghana in the 18th century, but in the 1980s, the price of coffee beans plummeted, causing farmers to give up growing coffee. But in recent years, coffee has become popular again, and the global coffee market has expanded, giving Ghana farmers a new hope.

In 2011, the Government of Ghana began a perennial program to grow and market Ghana coffee in order to preserve this cultural heritage and people's pride in the agricultural products of their country. The government of Ghana not only provided 2400 acres of fields for growing coffee, but also provided free coffee seedlings last year to attract farmers to grow them. Afadi's coffee field is in the Walter region on the border between Ghana and Togo. He has planted 900 coffee seedlings and hopes to have a good harvest in four years' time.
