The fundraising is part of a GH¢16.3 billion domestic cocoa financing programme aimed at supporting purchases and refinancing COCOBOD’s legacy debt.
COCOBOD has raised the cocoa producer price by GH¢1,008 per tonne as Ghana introduces a new pricing and financing framework for the sector.
Ghana is preparing to set a new cocoa producer price as COCOBOD works with international traders and lenders to secure financing for the 2026/27 season.
The financing plan includes cedi bonds and commercial paper as Ghana shifts cocoa-sector funding toward domestic capital markets.
The latest payment brings COCOBOD’s total DDEP-related settlements in 2026 to GH¢2.683 billion and concludes outstanding obligations to non-participating Cocoa Bill holders.
