File photo: Cocoa farmers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nCOCOBOD has denied reports that it has settled on a new producer price for cocoa farmers.<\/p>\n
This follows reports that COCCOBOD is expected to pay GH \u00a28, 000 for
\ntonne producers by cocoa farmers for the cocoa for the next crop season.<\/p>\n
The media reports noted that the implementation of the said taxes would happen from October this year.<\/p>\n
This represents a 5.2 per cent increase compared to GH \u00a27, 600 that what was paid during the next crop season.<\/p>\n
The price has not seen a significant change over the past three
\nyears, this was due to declining prices of cocoa on the international
\nmarket.<\/p>\n
COCOBOD on the producer price increase<\/strong><\/p>\nSpeaking to JoyBusiness Head of Public Affairs at COCOBOD, Fifi Boafo says these reports are not accurate.<\/p>\n
This is because the committee charged with determining the price has not even gotten to the point where they decide on this new price.<\/p>\n
He added that there are several processes that the board go through
\nin determining these and it\u2019s not just based on one person\u2019s
\nrecommendation or an institution.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cDecision to fix the price is that of the producer price
\nreview committee, so until they meet, nobody at any point in time can
\ndetermine the price\u201d.<\/p>\n
He argued that \u201cif you really appreciate the way things are done, you
\n would understand how the system operates, then one cannot quote just
\none source as being the bases for any announcements\u201d.<\/p>\n
Fiifi Boafo maintained that all the stakeholders that make up the
\nProducer Price Review Committee would surely be meeting before October
\nthis year to settle on this new price for the announcement to be made
\nsoon.<\/p>\n
Analysts on this proposed review in prices<\/strong>
Some analysts have also argued that looking at the current development
\nin the sector, there should be some significant increase when the
\nCommittee meets to review Producer Price for cocoa purchases for the
\nnext crop season.<\/p>\nCocoa Loan Syndication<\/strong><\/p>\nCOCOBOD is expected to sign the Cocoa loan Syndication on September
\n12 in Paris France. COCOBOD would be seeking to raise to $1.5 billion
\nfrom these institutions.<\/p>\n
The funds are expected to be used to finance cocoa purchases for the 2019\/2020 crop season and other developments in the sector.<\/p>\n
