Romeo who spoke in an exclusive interview with Tieghanaonline.com has explained that the movie traces the origins of the crop from Tetteh Quarshie, who first brought the cocoa seeds from Fernando Po, Equatorial Guinea, to Ghana over a century and half ago.
“The Golden Pod, the agricultural contemporary of Ghana’s mineral resources was divinely gifted to Tetteh Quarshie to salvage the then Gold Coast from poverty, deprivation and squalor. The cocoa industry is one of the few sectors that have served as the economic backbone of the nation for well over one-and-a half centuries.” He explained.
The 80s elaborates the question of smuggling in the cocoa industry; whether the cocoa farmer can be justifiable charged with the offence for appropriating the end product of his toil and labour, and recounting the hard work of the Ghanaian farmer through the nursing of the precious seedlings; transplanting and painstakingly weeding to ensure its healthy growth; fighting attendant diseases -swollen shoots and the likes, as well as the occasional ravages of fire and perilous floods.
