Ghana and Ivory Coast have established a joint Cocoa Office in Accra to advocate for shared industry reforms, aiming to benefit farmers in both nations.
The Ghana-Ivory Coast Cocoa Secretariat will work towards ensuring that cocoa farmers receive the support and rewards they are entitled to.
The Secretariat will also work towards advocating for fairer pricing of cocoa in the international market.
During the inauguration of the Secretariat in Roman Ridge, Accra, President Akufo-Addo emphasized that it would actively engage in addressing the grievances of cocoa farmers.
“Collaborative efforts between Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire are essential to establish unified positions that safeguard the interests of our farmers.
“It is imperative for this collaboration to address proactively these challenges, reinforcing the need for cohesive action. We anticipate that this collective initiative will pioneer the way forward for the cocoa industry.”
