Aggrieved cocoa farmers in the Guan District of the Oti Region have stormed the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) office at Hohoe, demanding payment for cocoa beans sold to Licensed Buying Companies (LBCs). The farmers say they supplied cocoa between November 2025 and February this year but have yet to receive their money. Speaking to Adom News, the area’s chief cocoa farmer, Divine Katsakpa, complained that despite government directives for LBCs to settle outstanding payments for last season’s purchases, farmers in the Oti Region, particularly Guan, remain unpaid. He referenced the release of GH¢2.6 billion to LBCs to facilitate payments to cocoa farmers nationwide, but said the delays have left many producers in severe financial distress.
