The Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) was established in 1947 with ¢27 million from Ghana’s share of the West African Produce Control Board’s profits. Its origins date back to the 1937 cocoa hold-up. Initially operating from rented premises in Accra, it later moved to Cocoa House, built to reflect confidence in the cocoa sector and honor Ghanaian farmers. The six-storey Cocoa House, inaugurated in 1960 by President Kwame Nkrumah, also housed local and foreign entities like Ethiopian Airlines and ARB Apex Bank. COCOBOD’s mission is to promote the efficient production, processing, and marketing of high-quality cocoa, coffee, and shea nuts. It aims to support farmers, ensure product excellence, and foster strong industrial relations while driving Ghana’s agricultural economy forward.
