Cocoa Bill needed before September season to back reforms – Dr Jasaw
Chairman of Parliament’s Food, Agriculture and Cocoa Affairs Committee, Dr Godfred Seidu Jasaw The Chairman of Parliament’s Food, Agriculture and Cocoa Affairs Committee, Dr Godfred Seidu Jasaw, has defended Parliament’s decision to pass the new Cocoa Bill under a certificate of urgency, explaining that the legislation was required ahead of the 2026/2027 cocoa season.
The lawmaker explained that the urgency surrounding the passage of the Bill was linked to the start of the new cocoa season in September, when decisions on producer prices and other sector arrangements would have to be made.
He said the delay of the Bill until Parliament resumes from recess in October could have affected the implementation of planned reforms, particularly those relating to cocoa pricing and financing arrangements.
