Making cocoa certification work for Ghana's farmers

Article scientifique 2026 Anglais

Résumé

Both Organic and Fairtrade certifications increase farmer income through price premiums and higher yields resulting from technical advice. Organic boosts profit by 91% while Fairtrade increases cocoa income by 165,8%. - Further improvements in farmers' living conditions depend on addressing power imbalances within global value chains and expanding market absorption for certified cocoa beans. - Organic certification can be supported by providing subsidies for conversion to organic practices, promoting the development of organic inputs, enhancing mechanisation to reduce labour drudgery and training technical advisors in organic farming methods. - Improving farmer representation in the Producer Price Review Committee and setting high cocoa farm gate price are also important ways of improving farmers' living conditions.
