Business News of Thursday, 12 February 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Centre for Democratic Movement (CDM) has called for the immediate reversal of the newly announced cocoa producer price of GH¢2,587 per 64kg bag, insisting that the government must honour its campaign pledge to cocoa farmers. The CDM argued that the decision reflects a troubling disconnect between government policy and the lived realities of rural Ghana. Describing the reduction as “not merely an economic error but a moral failure and a political betrayal,” the group maintained that cocoa farmers deserve respect and economic dignity rather than what it termed broken promises. The CDM pledged to continue advocating for fair pricing and transparent policies within the cocoa sector. “The cocoa farmer deserves respect, justice, and economic dignity — not broken promises and policy punishment,” the statement concluded.
