Cocoa production in Ghana is expected to reach 800,000 tonnes this season, COCOBOD has said
Some cocoa farmers in the Western North Region have raised concerns on the need for the government to make available monies to Local Buying Companies (LBCs) to enable them to buy their produce.
Inadequate funds at cocoa buying companies have brought an adverse effect on the livelihoods of farmers.
