President John Dramani Mahama has taken decisive action in response to growing concerns within Ghana’s cocoa industry, calling an emergency Cabinet meeting to chart a path forward.
Government spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu made the announcement on X, revealing that the special session is scheduled for Wednesday, February 11, 2026.
While the detailed agenda remains under wraps, the urgency of the meeting signals the administration’s recognition of the gravity of issues currently facing one of Ghana’s most important economic sectors. The cocoa industry is not only a pillar of the national economy but also a vital source of livelihood for millions of farmers and a key contributor to foreign exchange earnings.
Speculation among industry observers suggests that the Cabinet may address a range of critical topics, including declining cocoa production, concerns over farmer welfare and pricing, and ongoing operational difficulties across the value chain.
The government’s swift move to convene this emergency session has raised hopes that new policy measures will be introduced to stabilize the cocoa sector, protect farmer incomes, and secure the sustainability of Ghana’s cocoa-driven revenues.
As stakeholders await the outcomes of the meeting, all eyes are on the presidency and Cabinet, with expectations high for bold decisions that will safeguard the future of Ghana’s cocoa industry.
