Coco Farmers

Did you know?


Ghana is the second largest producer of cocoa world wide.

In Ghana all cocoa produced is required to be sold to the government.  The government buys the coco at a fixed rate which is adjusted yearly, currently the rate is roughly $100 per bag.  Each acre costs around $150 to farm and yields 8 to 10 bags of Cocoa.
