The Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) is a Ghanaian government-controlled institution[1] that fixes the buying price for cocoa in Ghana. Farmers are protected from the volatile prices on the world market through the price-fixing.[2] Besides, the higher quality hybrid seeds are sold by the organization and some research on cocoa plant-related diseases are also carried out.[3]
Between 1947 and 1979, the institution was known as the Cocoa Marketing Board. 60% of Ghana’s cocoa beans are sent to the UK.[4] The Board is however, a government organisation whose sole responsibility is to support production, marketing and processing of cocoa in the county.[5]
