Cocoa is a key export commodity for Ghana
The Government of Ghana, through the Ministry of Finance, has announced the new producer price for the remainder of the 2025/2026 cocoa season.
Speaking at a press briefing in Accra on February 12, 2026, the Minister of Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson revealed that the new cocoa producer price has been set at GH¢41,392 per tonne, which translates to GH¢2,587 per 64-kilogram bag.
The announcement is part of the government’s efforts to ensure cocoa farmers receive fair and competitive compensation for their produce, amid ongoing reforms in the cocoa sector aimed at increasing value addition, stabilising the industry, and improving farmer incomes.
Dr Forson noted that the revised price reflects both global market conditions and the need to incentivise local farmers, ensuring that Ghana remains a leading cocoa-producing country.
