Government has announced the supply of free 50 million hybrid seedlings to boost cocoa farming in the country.
The move is part of the ongoing cocoa replacement exercise.
The seedlings, which have high yields and are resistant to diseases are to replace aged cocoa trees, officials say.
“Although Ghana is only the world’s second highest producer of cocoa, it has refreshingly maintained its position as producer of the highest quality cocoa beans globally,” Mahama told a gathering in the Adansi south district of the Ashanti region.
