The Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) led by Mr Randy Abbey has welcomed a delegation from the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA), currently in Ghana to assess the effectiveness of the Productivity Enhancement Programmes (PEPs).
The DBSA, along with other financial institutions, has provided critical funding for these initiatives, which aim to strengthen Ghana’s position as a leading global cocoa producer.
The delegation’s visit forms part of a broader effort to evaluate the progress of the PEPs and their impact on the cocoa industry. During their time in Ghana, the team will visit various project sites, including cocoa farms at different stages of rehabilitation, and engage with key stakeholders to gain insights into the outcomes of the programs.
The PEPs have been designed to improve productivity, enhance the quality of cocoa beans, and ensure the sustainability of Ghana’s cocoa sector.
By modernizing farming techniques and offering support to local farmers, the initiative is playing a key role in revitalizing the industry and securing its future.
COCOBOD, in collaboration with its partners, continues to prioritize efforts aimed at ensuring the growth and sustainability of the cocoa sector, with a focus on both environmental and economic benefits.
The visit underscores the importance of ongoing collaboration with international financial institutions to drive positive change in the sector.
