Cocoa farmers are expecting a bumper harvest for the upcoming 2025/26 season, buoyed by improved flowering and pod development, even as they grapple with persistent challenges in input supplies and erratic weather.
The West African country has seen output fall in previous seasons due to reasons including diseases, climate change, and rampant illegal gold mining, which destroys cocoa plantations and reduces yields.
However, growers are cautiously optimistic about the next season, saying better weather conditions and a decline in diseases should help increase production.
