The Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) has announced the producer price for cocoa beans for the 2025/2026 main crop season, which commenced on Thursday, August 7, 2025.
In a circular copied to the Ghana News Agency, COCOBOD stated that the producer price for cocoa beans will be GH¢1,549.92 per load of 30 kilogrammes for Grade I and GH¢3,229 per bag of 64 kilogrammes gross.
Meanwhile, the price for a tonne of 16 bags is GH¢51,664, the circular, signed by Dr. Ransford Abbey, Acting Chief Executive of COCOBOD stated, adding that purchases of cocoa beans would be made at all buying centres.
Last week, Dr. Cassiel Ato Baah Forson, noted that the government had maintained the cedi equivalent of $3,100 per tonne at GH¢16 to $1 for several months to protect farmers against income loss.
He also announced approved margins and fees for key players in the cocoa value chain, including buyers, haulers, warehouse operators and quality control units, in addition to the provision of jute bags for smooth start of the 2025/26 season.
For farmers, the Minister of Finance indicated that the government would provide them with free liquid and granular fertilisers, insecticides, fungicides, and flower inducers, to enable them yields to increase.
