Ghana’s Agriculture Minister has indicated that the country’s cocoa production for the 2025/26 season is likely to exceed the initial projection of 650,000 tonnes, citing favorable weather conditions and ongoing crop rehabilitation efforts, as reported by TradingView.
The announcement comes after a period of challenges, including crop diseases, climate variability, and illegal mining, which have previously affected yields. Improved flowering and pod development have led to optimism among cocoa farmers and industry stakeholders, according to MarketScreener.
The Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) continues to provide support to farmers through initiatives aimed at enhancing productivity and addressing sectoral challenges, ensuring the sustainability of cocoa production, as highlighted on CNBC Africa.
A strong 2025/26 cocoa season would reinforce Ghana’s position as one of the world’s leading cocoa producers and could provide a boost to the country’s agricultural exports and rural economy.
