Driving Sustainable Cocoa Production in Ghana – A Commitment to Farmers and Nature
In the heart of Ghana, cocoa is more than just a crop; it’s the lifeblood of communities, a symbol of resilience, and the foundation of livelihoods. At Farmer Globale, we understand the value of this precious commodity and the people behind its cultivation. This is why we’ve launched initiatives to enhance sustainable cocoa production through innovation and farmer support.
Our Sustainable Cocoa Project, in collaboration with TechnoServe CASA-TAF and Niche Cocoa Sourcing in Ghana, set an ambitious goal of sourcing 100,000 metric tons of cocoa from 100,000 smallholder farmers across the cocoa-growing regions in Ghana. But it’s not just about the numbers. We’re focused on creating real financial inclusion, using digital platforms to ensure that farmers receive direct-to-farmer payments, which also enable them to be part of Ghana’s growing farmer pension scheme. Farmer Globale designed a Cooperative Strengthening Tool and a hybrid extension model in collaboration with the Department of Cooperatives and The Cocoa Health & Extension Division (CHED) of COCOBOD. The goal was to empower cooperative societies to operate as a business and at the same time ensuring continuous extension support for cocoa farmers.
We provide technical assistance on sustainable agricultural practices, and through enhanced operational efficiency, we’re helping cocoa farmers increase their revenue while conserving the environment. Our vision is clear: empower farmers, promote sustainability, and protect the future of cocoa in Ghana.
