Mahama Promises Record Cocoa Prices for Ghanaian Farmers

Ghana's President Mahama pledges higher cocoa prices for farmers, surpassing Ivory Coast's rates by August 2025. The announcement, made during his Thank-You tour of the Ahafo Region, aims to revitalize the cocoa sector and improve farmers' livelihoods. The President stated, "The price is going to be a very, very good price." This commitment to exceeding Ivory Coast's producer price demonstrates Ghana's focus on improving its cocoa industry. The government also plans to add 200,000 hectares of cocoa to increase national output and farmers' incomes. This initiative offers a significant boost to the Ghanaian economy and the well-being of its cocoa farmers.
