COCOA FARMERS
The Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) has raised 3.39 billion cedis ($288.02 million) through a short-term debt issuance in the domestic market to finance cocoa purchases from farmers as the country’s new crop season gets underway.
As the planting season approaches, Johnvents Group has successfully distributed over 266,000 cocoa seedlings and 6,000 shade tree seedlings to farmers across 11 cocoa-producing states in Nigeria.
A Nigerian cocoa firm, Tulip Cocoa Processing Company, has clamoured for single-digit interest loans to be given to cocoa farmers in the country.
