The shortage of cocoa beans in the Ghanaian market to satisfy cocoa processing companies is affecting their productions.
Currently, demand for cocoa beans for processing into finished and semi-finished products by cocoa processing companies is exceeding supply, according to one of the industry players, Plot Enterprise Ghana Limited.
The company, reeling under this challenge made known their predicaments when Western Regional Minister Joseph Nelson, visited the factory at Eshiem in Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis.
The visit carried out by the Minister formed part of his familiarisation tour of institutions in the region upon assumption of office.
