African Cocoa Marketplace (ACM), our partner, has launched the new series, A Cocoa Season in Ghana with John Adamnor, with a visit to John's farm in March 2024.
John is a member of the ABOCFA organic cocoa cooperative near Suhum in Ghana's Eastern Region. He has taught ACM Founder & CEO Kristy Leissle a great deal about cocoa over the years.
When we met John in March, the main cocoa crop had just finished, and the yield was devastatingly low.
We asked John to share the reasons why, and whether there were any signs of hope for the coming light crop.
Special thanks to Benjamin Setor Gbadago and Kakra (Ataa-Asantewaa Martha) Ph.D. for their support in production.
