New cocoa price exposes government credibility gap – Fiifi Boafo

Former COCOBOD chief executive Fiifi Boafo says the government faces a serious test of credibility following its recent move on cocoa pricing. He argues that the decision to set new rates for the 2026/27 season does not meet the standards Ghanaians were led to expect from election promises.

Boafo emphasised that the delayed price announcement undermines public trust in state commitments. His critique highlights how policy reversals on critical economic issues directly affect farmers' confidence in national leadership.
