Africa-Press – Ghana. The Cocoa, Coffee and Sheanut Farmers Association has expressed appreciation to the Government and the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCODOB) for the increment of the producer price from Ghc 3,228.75 per 64kg to Ghc 3,628.75 per 64Kg for the 2025/2026 cocoa season.
This gives farmers an additional increment of Ghc 400.00.
In a statement signed by Alhaji Alhassan Bukari, National Chief Farmer, on behalf of the National Executive Committee and the entire members of the Association, said the increment in price marked a notable improvement and affirmed the government’s willingness to listen to the legitimate concerns of farmers across the Country.
The Association also commended COCOBOD and the government for maintaining the additional interventions that demonstrated a commitment to making cocoa farming more profitable, sustainable and attractive to the next generation.
The statement highlighted, in particular, the introduction of free fertilizers (liquid and granular), the forthcoming Ghana Cocoa Traceability System and the planned Tertiary Education Scholarship Scheme for the Children of cocoa farmers for 2026/2027 academic year.
While embracing these initiatives, the Association called for the timely distribution of subsidized inputs to all eligible farmers across regions and increased investment in extension services and community-level education on the traceability system.
“We believe with this additional producer price announcement, coupled with the broader set of reforms, presents an opportunity for renewed trust and stronger cooperation between farmers, COCOBOD and the government,” the statement said.
“We therefore, urge all cocoa farmers across Ghana to appreciate and cooperate with the government and stay the course toward a more equitable and sustainable cocoa future,” it added.
