Cocoa Board law lacks clear strategy to attract young farmers and technology – Cocoa Farmers Association

Speaking on Thursday, August 27, on JoyFM, Nana Aduna II said the average cocoa farmer in Ghana is 63 years old, making youth participation and technological advancement critical to the industry’s sustainability.

The Spokesperson for the Ghana National Cocoa Farmers Association, Nana Aduna II, says the newly enacted Ghana Cocoa Board Law offers no clear strategy for attracting young people and technological innovation into the cocoa industry.

Nana Aduna II, however, maintained that the legislation did not adequately address the practical barriers preventing young people from entering cocoa farming or provide a clear framework for deploying modern technology across the sector.
