Business News of Wednesday, 18 February 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comMajority Leader Mahama Ayariga has dismissed claims that the recent downward review of cocoa prices breaches the law. He said, “Cocoa prices can be reviewed upwards and can also be reviewed downwards, and when you review them downwards, it’s not illegal. Ghana sets new producer price for remainder of 2025/2026 cocoa season. This represents a reduction from GH¢51,660 per tonne (GH¢3,625 per bag), following sustained declines in global cocoa prices. The government maintains that despite the downward revision, Ghana remains committed to sustaining its position as a leading cocoa producer and safeguarding the livelihoods of its farmers.
