COCOBOD has increased the Cocoa farm-gate prices. A bag of Cocoa was first sold at GHS2,070. Now, same bag will be sold for GHS3,000cedis due to the hike in purchasing agricultural products needed in growing the Cocoa crops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, the regulator will buy a tonne of Cocoa for GHS48,000cedis from GHS33,120. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some Cocoa farmers have praised the government and Cocoa board for this increment while others also feel dissatisfied with the new prices. These Farmers say that, these prices don\u2019t reflect the world market price for Cocoa.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Cocoa Farmers association representative has expressed a displeasure with the new prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe government can\u2019t just sit and decide the new prices of Cocoa without consulting us the Cocoa Farmers, that\u2019s disrespectful on their part.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

He continued, \u201cWe have told the Cocoa Farmers in the country not to be intimidated and sell their Cocoa, they should keep the Cocoa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time around, we are prepared; they think we the Cocoa farmers are hungry, the oppression must stop, this time we are fully prepared.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
