Cocoa Producer Price Hike Brings Increment—But Not Satisfaction

Cocoa Producer Price disappointment as Ghanaian cocoa farmer stands beside harvested cocoa pods and loaded sacks, reflecting reactions to the new GHS 3,228.75 bag rate.

Ghana’s government has raised the Cocoa Producer Price to GHS 3,228.75 per 64 kg bag for the 2025/26 season—a 62.58% increase. While it meets the 70% FOB benchmark, many farmers say the hike falls short of expectations amid rising global prices and local costs.
