We as cocoa farmers see the need for farmers across the globe to come together to share our ideas that will contribute in promoting a fair and balance cocoa sector. We therefore call on the Ghanaian government (COCOBOD) to welcome and collaborate with the World Cocoa Farmers Organization (WCFO) as farmers deserved the right to participate at national level on issues regarding cocoa farming as a business which include policy, trade, sustainability and environmental initiatives.
Heading forward, we expect that farmers are involved in the planning and implementation of future activities (policy, trade, sustainability and environmental initiatives).
We look forward that COCOBOD will endorse and praticalize this communiqué and ensure collaboration with WCFO in the planning and implementation of the issues mentioned above.
