Cabinet has moved to introduce reforms in Ghana’s cocoa sector following mounting pressure over delayed payments to farmers and the deepening financial strain at the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD).

The decision was announced by the Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, after an emergency Cabinet meeting convened on February 11, 2026,to confront what government officials describe as a growing crisis in the industry.

At the heart of the discussions were the persistent delays in paying cocoa farmers and the broader financial challenges weighing down COCOBOD’s operations.
