In a historic move, Ghana, the world’s second-largest cocoa producer, has raised its farm gate price of cocoa by an impressive 45%.

 The new price of $3,063 per tonne marks a staggering 129% increase from the previous season’s opening price of $1,335 per tonne for the 2023/2024 cocoa season.

The decision comes amid rising global demand and inflationary pressures affecting the agricultural sector. 

This sharp price rise is expected to significantly improve the livelihoods of cocoa farmers, while also boosting Ghana’s economy.

The price hike positions Ghana as a key player in global cocoa markets, reaffirming the country’s commitment to fair pricing and sustainable farming practices. 

This landmark adjustment is seen as a crucial step to ensuring that farmers receive a fair share of the profits from cocoa exports, which are vital to the country's economy. 

The announcement was warmly received by farmers, who have long called for better compensation in response to increasing production costs.

 Global market watchers will be keenly observing how this price adjustment affects the international cocoa trade, with potential ripple effects across West Africa and beyond.
