MONDELEZ
\nINTERNATIONAL, a global manufacturing company through its cocoa life programme
\nannounces for the 2018\/2019 crop year that a total number of 29,116 registered
\ncocoa farmers in 334 cocoa communities in Ghana have received a cash premium of
\nUS$3,360,000 which is equivalent to GH\u00a218,000,000 to implement their
\ndevelopment plans within their communities.<\/p>\n

According to the country
\nhead of the Cocoa Life programme, Yaa Peprah Amekudzi, through the community
\naction plan, cooperative societies and district cooperative unions have been
\nestablished in communities where her outfit was operational in order to
\neffectively own and drive development within their communities. <\/p>\n

She continued that
\nbased on their productivity, these districts receive annual cash premiums that
\nfocus on aiding development with support from Mondelez International. <\/p>\n

Such developments,
\nshe added, were evidenced through the many infrastructures, educational
\nscholarships and social amenities that are churned out because of the cash
\npremium. <\/p>\n

In its bid to enhance
\nthe performance of farmers and build their capacity to increase productivity, Cocoa
\nLife has presented a total of 100 motorised trimmers to 50 groups of cocoa
\nfarmers. These trimmers are to assist the cocoa farmers to carry out
\nsustainable production of cocoa and gradually do away with spraying weedicides
\nas these affect the efficiency of the soil.<\/p>\n

Cocoa Life commits
\nto secure 100 per cent in the volume of cocoa for all chocolate brands through
\nits Cocoa Life Sustainability Programme by 2025.<\/p>\n

Launched in 2012 and
\nbuilt on the foundation laid by Cadbury Cocoa Partnership between 2008 and 2012,
\nthe Cocoa Life programme aims to invest US$400 million in the cocoa sector by
\n2022 and empower 200,000 cocoa farmers to train one million others in six key
\ncocoa growing countries in countries including Ghana, Cote d\u2019Ivoire, Indonesia,
\nIndia, Brazil and the Dominican Republic.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
