Mahama Summons Emergency Cabinet Meeting over Cocoa Crisis
President John Dramani Mahama has summoned an emergency cabinet meeting tomorrow.
The meeting will be used to address issues relating to the cocoa sector, the Government Spokesperson, Felix Kwkye Ofosu, said in a statement.
The meeting will take place at the Jubilee House on Wednesday, February 11, 2026.
It has been confirmed that cocoa farmers are battered with delays in receiving payment for cocoa delivered since November 2025.
Addressing the press on February 5, 2026, in Parliament, the Ranking Member of the Agric and Cocoa Affairs Committee, Dr Isaac Opoku, chastised the government, stating that paying farmers is not a favour but an obligation that must be duly honoured by the government.
He also demanded reimbursement to Licensed Buying Companies (LBC) as he observes that LBCs have also been at the receiving end of the current situation.
