COCOBOD model is outdated and limiting Ghana’s cocoa economy – Cocoa Farmers Association
The Spokesperson for the Ghana National Cocoa Farmers Association, Nana Aduna II, has criticised the newly enacted Ghana Cocoa Board Law, describing it as an outdated framework that could impede the development of the country’s cocoa industry.
He added that the system remained “an outdated model based on an outdated British system”, which continued to limit Ghana to producing cocoa beans mainly for export.
He argued that the legislation preserves the COCOBOD-centred model introduced during British colonial rule, which continues to restrict Ghana largely to producing and exporting raw cocoa beans.
