On October 2, 2025, Ghana’s Producer Price Review Committee announced a revised cocoa price of GHS3,625 per bag (GHS58,000 per tonne), a 12.3% increase from August’s GHS3,228.75, effective October 3.

On August 4, 2025, Ghana raised the 2025/26 cocoa producer price to USD 5,040 per tonne, a 62.6% increase from USD 3,100, reflecting a significant effort to reward farmers amid changing global market conditions.

On August 4, 2025, Ghana’s Producer Price Review Committee approved the 2025/26 cocoa producer price ahead of the new crop season opening on August 7, reaffirming government’s commitment to fair farmer compensation and market stability.

As Ghana’s economy strengthens, the appreciation of the Cedi has been hailed as a sign of renewed confidence. However, for cocoa which is priced globally, the stronger currency presents complex implications for farm gate prices.

Ghana’s cocoa farmers anticipate a strong 2025/26 harvest driven by favourable weather, improved flowering, and healthy pod development despite persistent challenges with input supply, smuggling, and crop disease.

Ghana’s 2024/25 cocoa production is projected at 700,000 MT, up 32% from 2023/24, driven by better yields, pruning, and insecticide supply. Exports are expected to rise 55% to 520,000 MT.
