The Narcotic Control Board (NACOB) has denied media reports that the authority has imposed a ban on the export of non-traditional crops. Television station TV3 on Friday reported that the Narcotic Control Board had placed a temporary ban on the export of non-traditional crops without giving any reasons for the action. But in a swift response, the Executive secretary of the Narcotic Control Board, Yaw Akrasi Saropng said at a press conference he is surprised by the reports and can confirm that his outfit has not taken any such action. ��It is completely false and the person who gave that information must have done that for a reason which is very strange, we don�t know why he/she will say that; we have neither on the spot by word or by letter banned any non-traditional export because that is not our mandate.� Mr. Akrasi also added that NACOB did not lock the gate into the cargo village, as the report also reported. ��We have no keys to any gate, we have not done anything like; that is not our mandate,�� he added.
