Cocoa production has been the backbone of Ghana’s economy for more than six decades now. The government of Ghana spends huge sums of money annually on the purchase and distribution of farm inputs to farmers but the sector is still beset with a lot of challenges which reduce yield significantly annually.

The effects of the challenges are also assessed accordingly.
