This is peanut. Calculate the task of even sending your cocoa beans there just for some peanuts. You would run at a lose.

It's a lie, you buy the cocoa in Ghana for 1308 cedis for more than 2000 cedis in Ivory Coast and u are talking about losses.
Even if you get 100 cedis per bag for 100 bags, how much is your gain?

Why are the producers of cocoa leaves it up to the buyers to put prices up. You have poor harvest so you put the price up to suit the market not the other way round. The chocolate makers already charging their customers the higher price without paying you the growers more money. Please take control.

Cocoa farming looks like one useless and worthless farming in Africa. Even when the demand and supply adjust, your government will still determine how much he will pay for your beans. Like seriously?

Smugglers are already jubilating and it will continue until proper adjustment is made, which should be a bit higher than Ivory Coast.

If the Ghana government cannot also increase the farm price of a bag of cocoa for their farmers, our cocoa will be smuggled to the Ivory Coast for its good price. This is a wake up call for the ministry of Agriculture. The coco board CEO who cannot handle a cutlass is being paid astronomical salaries with other fringe benefits at the expense of the poor farmers. That is sad. Even the cocoa scholarships are awarded to children of MPs , the MPs themselves with just a handful of the children of these farmers being awarded this scholarship. Such wicked people.

The Ghana Government should sit up and do the needful. At least Ghc 2500 for 64 kilos would be fair
