This new price translates to GH\u00a251,660 per tonne or US$5,040 per tonne using an average exchange rate of GH\u00a210.25 to the US dollar.<\/p>\n<p>Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, who chairs the Producer Price Review Committee (PPRC), stated that the new rate represents 70% of the Free-On-Board (FOB) value, which has been benchmarked at US$7,200 per tonne. He emphasized that the increase represents a 62.58% rise in dollar terms, fulfilling President Mahama&#8217;s pledge to ensure cocoa farmers receive a fairer share of international market value.<\/p>\n<p>However, Dr. Isaac Yaw Opoku, Ranking Member on Parliament\u2019s Committee on Food, Agriculture and Cocoa Affairs and MP for Offinso South, said the new price is not only inadequate but also falls below expectations and campaign promises made to cocoa farmers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis new farm gate price is completely unacceptable and a betrayal of the trust farmers placed in this government. It does not reflect current market realities,\u201d Dr. Opoku said at a press briefing.<\/p>\n<p>He argued that Ghanaian cocoa farmers are receiving less than their counterparts in neighbouring Ivory Coast, despite the significant contributions they make to Ghana\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n<p>Quoting President Mahama\u2019s campaign promise that cocoa farmers would be &#8220;very, very, very happy&#8221; with the producer price, Dr. Opoku questioned whether the newly announced rate lives up to that pledge.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>\u201cToday, cocoa farmers are neither happy nor satisfied. They are disappointed, disillusioned, and feel deceived,\u201d he said.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He described the GH\u00a23,228.75 per bag rate using terms he attributed to farmers themselves: \u201cridiculous, laughable, comical, upsetting, shameful, unfair \u2014 a stab in the back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12945\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/InCollage_20230916_125420212-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/InCollage_20230916_125420212-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/InCollage_20230916_125420212-1-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/InCollage_20230916_125420212-1-1000x1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/InCollage_20230916_125420212-1-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/InCollage_20230916_125420212-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/InCollage_20230916_125420212-1-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/InCollage_20230916_125420212-1-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/InCollage_20230916_125420212-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/InCollage_20230916_125420212-1-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/InCollage_20230916_125420212-1-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Opoku also challenged the government to explain why the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in opposition once demanded a farm gate price of at least GH\u00a26,000 per bag, yet now offers almost half of that.<\/p>\n<p>He accused the government of shifting blame onto global market conditions, exchange rates, and inherited financial challenges at COCOBOD, while failing to take responsibility for its own promises and policy decisions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat has changed? Didn\u2019t the same factors exist when you made those lofty promises in 2024?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>The Minority MP further dismissed claims by Dr. Forson that cocoa inputs such as fertilizers, insecticides, and fungicides are being provided free to farmers. According to him, these are already factored into the FOB price, meaning they are paid for with farmers\u2019 own money.<\/p>\n<p>He also raised questions about COCOBOD&#8217;s financial state, demanding transparency regarding revenue generated in the 2024\/2025 season and how much has been spent on administrative costs, including recent staff transfers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf COCOBOD is broke, how are they spending millions on transfer grants for employees? How much revenue have they brought in from cocoa sales this season? We demand answers,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21635\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/COOA-FARMERS-TRICKED-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"623\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Minority called for an immediate review of the producer price, warning that failure to do so may further demotivate cocoa farmers and push many toward abandoning cocoa farming altogether or leasing lands to illegal miners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must protect our cocoa industry, honour our farmers, and secure Ghana\u2019s place in the global cocoa market. This deception must stop,\u201d Dr. Opoku concluded.<\/p>\n<p>The new producer price is scheduled to take effect Thursday, August 7, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source : Felix Nyaaba\/expressnewsghana.com<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Minority caucus in Parliament has launched a scathing critique of the government\u2019s recently announced cocoa producer price, accusing it of deceiving farmers and manipulating [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21634,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21633","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
