The government's recent announcement of a new cocoa producer price for the 2025/2026 season has triggered sharp political exchanges - with NPP MP for Old Tafo, Vincent Ekow Assafuah, publicly calling out Finance Minister Dr.
Cassiel Ato Forson over what he describes as a misleading celebration of a meagre price adjustment.
Dr.
Ato Forson, in a Facebook post on August 4, disclosed that under his chairmanship, the Producer Price Review Committee had approved a new cocoa price of GHC 3,228.75 per 64kg bag, effective Thursday, August 7, 2025.
