The Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) has debunked circulating claims on social media that the government has announced an increase in cocoa prices to 70% of the world market price for farmers. In a statement shared on its official social media platforms, COCOBOD clarified that the reports are entirely false and should be disregarded by the public.
The viral social media flyer falsely attributed the announcement to the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, suggesting that cocoa farmers would now receive 70% of the world market price for their produce. COCOBOD, however, has labeled this information as misleading.
