Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) says it has put in place measures to modernize the country\u2019s cocoa industry through the introduction of the Cocoa Management System (CMS).<\/p>\n

The CMS, developed in 2019, is an integrated database aimed at improving policy-making, traceability, and the efficient delivery of interventions to the cocoa sector.<\/p>\n

Addressing the media in Accra, the Chief Executive Officer of COCOBOD, Joseph Boahen Aidoo stressed the importance of the system in transforming the sector.<\/p>\n

He said one of the first key steps was registering cocoa farmers into a centralized database. Currently, 792,954 cocoa farmers and their households have been successfully registered, and over 1.2 million hectares of cocoa farms have been mapped.<\/p>\n

According to Mr. Boahen Aidoo, the initiative marks a major step forward in COCOBOD\u2019s efforts to improve oversight, accountability, and service delivery in the cocoa sector, setting a new benchmark for sustainable cocoa production in Ghana.<\/p>\n

Mr. Boahen Aidoo highlighted joint measures put in place by Ghana and C\u00f4te d’Ivoire to improve the pricing system of cocoa.<\/p>\n
