Ghana's government has announced a historic increase in the farmgate price of cocoa ahead of the upcoming 2025-26 growing season in a move intended to improve earnings for local producers. The price hike also aligns with campaign pledges made by President John Mahama, who was elected in December. Mahama had vowed to allocate up to 70 percent of the export (FOB) price to cocoa farmers.
