Ghanaian cocoa farmers are to enjoy GH¢400 increase in price per a bag of cocoa beans starting Friday, October 3, 2025, for the 2025/2026 season.
This comes, as government at its Cocoa Price Review Committee meeting decided to increase the producer price of cocoa to GH¢3,625 per bag and GH¢58,000 per tonne, equivalent to a 12.27% rise over the price announced in August.
A statement signed by the Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, indicated that, margins, fees, and rates to all other stakeholders, including COCOBOD, remain unchanged.
“COCOBOD will continue to implement interventions to support cocoa production and improve the welfare of cocoa farmers.
“In particular, COCOBOD will intensify the supply of free cocoa fertilizers (liquid and granular), free insecticides, free spraying machines, free fungicides, and free flower inducers”, he intimated.
“In addition, COCOBOD remains on track to implement the new Tertiary Education Scholarship Scheme for children of cocoa farmers in the 2026/27 academic year.”
