Government has announced additional support measures for cocoa farmers as part of efforts to boost production and strengthen Ghana’s position within the global cocoa industry.
The interventions include the distribution of improved seedlings, expanded extension services, disease control programmes, and farmer education initiatives designed to improve productivity.
Cocoa remains one of Ghana’s most important export commodities and a major source of income for thousands of farming households across the country.
Agricultural experts believe increased investment in the sector is necessary to address challenges including ageing farms, climate change, pests, and fluctuating global market conditions.
Officials say supporting farmers will not only increase production but also improve livelihoods within cocoa-growing communities.
Industry stakeholders have welcomed the initiative and called for sustained investment in research and modern farming practices.
Many farmers have expressed optimism that the interventions will help improve yields and profitability.
Government remains committed to strengthening the cocoa value chain while promoting sustainable agricultural practices.
The sector is expected to continue playing a vital role in Ghana’s economic development and foreign exchange earnings.
