Government will bear some key expenses of cocoa farmers despite a significant rise in the producer price of cocoa, Keta MP Kwame Gakpey has said.
Speaking on JoyNews' PM Express on Tuesday, August 5, the MP explained that the policy is a deliberate effort to boost production while reducing the financial burden on farmers.
His comments followed the announcement by Finance Minister Dr.
Cassiel Ato Forson that the producer price of cocoa has been increased from $3,100 to $5,040 per tonne for the 2025/26 season.
