Ghana Cocoa Board — government agency overseeing cocoa sector financing, anti-smuggling operations, and regulatory framework, developing new funding model for 2026/27 season.
The Ghana Cocoa Board is implementing a new domestic funding model for the 2026/27 cocoa season, moving away from dollar-dependent syndicated loans toward commercial paper and domestic liquidity while maintaining farmer payments at 70% of FOB price. The board has also stepped up anti-smuggling operations, arresting suspects and intercepting smuggled cocoa, and is exploring value-addition partnerships with cocoa startups to diversify products.
