ABIDJAN, Côte d’Ivoire – From 11–19 October 2025, global cocoa stakeholders are invited to take part in the Cocoa Trade & Investment Mission to Ghana, a high-level initiative designed to strengthen international partnerships and promote sustainable investment in the cocoa sector.

As a key member of the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO), Ghana plays a pivotal role in the global cocoa economy. This mission offers a unique opportunity to explore the country’s dynamic cocoa value chain—from farm to port to processing—and to engage directly with Ghanaian institutions, businesses, and policymakers.

Objectives:

  • Gain firsthand exposure to Ghana’s cocoa value chain through site visits to farms, buying centres, ports, processing and warehousing facilities, and the Cocoa Research Institute of Ghana (CRIG).
  • Engage with Ghanaian policymakers, cocoa regulators, financiers, and key industry leaders through exclusive B2B meetings, site visits, and a high-level Cocoa Investment Forum in Accra.
  • Identify and assess bankable cocoa investment opportunities across the entire value chain—from premium production and processing to logistics, technology, traceability, and sustainability.
  • Discover value addition prospects at the Chocolate Fair, featuring Ghanaian artisanal brands and processors.

Who Should Participate?

This mission is especially relevant for organisations involved in:

  • Cocoa trading, processing, and chocolate manufacturing
  • Commodity finance, trade credit, and investment banking
  • Institutional investment and private equity
  • Warehousing, shipping, logistics, and insurance
  • Agro-inputs: jute bags, weighing scales, fertilisers, farm equipment
  • Processing and chocolate manufacturing equipment
  • Sustainability, certification, traceability, and agri-tech solution
