Business News of Thursday, 12 February 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Minister of Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, has announced plans by the government to revive the Cocoa Processing Company (CPC) and position it as Ghana’s leading cocoa processor. “Reviving CPC is a strategic step to strengthen our cocoa value chain. Dr Forson added that the government envisions CPC not only as a processor but also as a benchmark for sustainable and competitive cocoa processing in Ghana. Ghana, the world’s second-largest cocoa producer, has historically exported most of its cocoa beans in raw form. Dr Forson stressed that the initiative would reduce raw cocoa exports, promote local processing, and ensure that Ghana derives maximum benefit from its cocoa resources.
