Top Story: Cabinet Unleashes Sweeping Reforms to Save Ghana’s Cocoa Sector from GH¢10bn Debt

Описание: URGENT: Ghana’s cocoa sector is on the brink — but can sweeping new reforms turn the tide?

Tonight on Top Story with Samuel Kojo Brace on Joy 99.7 FM, Cabinet unveils what has been described as the most far-reaching reforms in Ghana’s cocoa history, following an emergency meeting chaired by President Mahama.

With a staggering 10 billion-cedi debt crippling the industry and pushing cocoa farmers to the brink, government is promising decisive action — fast-tracking payments, boosting domestic processing, reducing raw bean exports, and injecting transparency into COCOBOD’s operations.

Minister for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, announces a national address by the Finance Minister to outline a roadmap to save the sector from collapse.

Presidential Affairs Correspondent Maxwell Agbagba joins live with details from the post-Cabinet briefing.
