Hot, Dry Weather in Key Ghana Region Casts Shadow on Cocoa Hopes

Ghana’s cocoa rebound is under some stress as hot and dry weather has caused flowers and pods to wither in the southwest, one of the country’s main production hubs.

“The flowering pods are withering and other food crops including vegetables are also reeling,” said Francis Agyabeng, a farmer in the town of Yakase.

Ghana expects cocoa production to recover to 700,000 tons in 2024-25 after bad weather and disease combined with a lack of fertilizers to send the global market into a third year of shortages.

Ivory Coast

  • There has been little rain but plantations in the western and southern production zones continue to thrive
