CÔTE D’IVOIRE-GHANA HIGH-LEVEL SUMMIT ON COCOA ECONOMY

JOINT DECLARATION

At the meeting in Abidjan on June 16, 2026, on the occasion of the Côte d’Ivoire-Ghana High-Level Summit on the Future of the Cocoa Economy, H.E. Alassane OUATTARA, President of the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire, and H.E. John Dramani MAHAMA, President of the Republic of Ghana, renewed their shared commitment to promoting a sustainable cocoa economy, placing the farmer at the center of priorities for sector governance and value sharing.

This commitment is built on the Abidjan Declaration of March 26, 2018, which serves as the foundation for cooperation between the two States in the cocoa sector.

Following a review of the progress made in recent years, the two Heads of State:

* Considering that Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana account for about 60% of global cocoa production, which confers upon them shared leadership and a special responsibility for the future of the sector;

* Recognizing that notable achievements of their joint efforts are the creation of the Côte d’Ivoire-Ghana Cocoa Initiative (CIGCI), the establishment of the Living Income Differential (LID), the harmonization of marketing and price announcements to producers, the implementation of traceability and the African Regional Standards for Sustainable Cocoa (ARS-1000), and the cooperation between research institutes to combat the Cocoa Swollen Shoot Virus Disease (CSSVD);

* Aware that the sector remains exposed to major challenges such as price volatility, illegal gold mining, adverse effects of climate change, the rise in the use of cocoa substitutes and equivalents, and the increasing demands of international sustainability regulations;

* Aware that Africa, which accounts for about 80% of global production, still captures only a marginal share of the value in the cocoa-chocolate supply chain;

* Convinced that fair remuneration for farmers is a pillar of the sector’s sustainability and a requirement for economic justice and social stability.

Consequently, agree to:

• Harmonize farm-gate price policies to optimize producer remuneration, stabilize the market and strengthen their commercial cooperation through several key measures, including market synergy, the alignment of premiums and the harmonization of crop-season calendars;

• Guarantee producers fair and decent remuneration and place them at the heart of the cocoa value chain;

• Strengthen scientific cooperation with a focus to the integrated management of cocoa diseases, especially Swollen Shoot;

• Create added value by increasing processing capacity, encouraging regional and continental trade, and stimulating national and regional consumption of cocoa-based products;

• Expand the Côte d’Ivoire-Ghana Cocoa Initiative to other African countries, to enhance regional cooperation, harmonize sector policies, strengthen collective bargaining power on global markets, and coordinate responses to the emerging challenges of the cocoa economy.

An absolute delight for the Government of Ghana to host a distinguished US Congressional delegation yesterday.

Ghana and the US will continue to work together across multiple sectors to advance our shared interest.

May our democracies get better and stronger to meet the legitimate expectations of the people we serve.

Ghana congratulates the US as it commemorates its 250th anniversary of independence.

We shall continue to bolster our impressive Ghana 🇬🇭 USA 🇺🇸 relations.

Secondly, the NDC hasn't arrested 40 people yet

Great news from the Finance Minister. This is exactly what we want to hear as a country. I believe we should pay close attention to the nationalisation of our natural resources, especially gold.

By doing so, we can create opportunities for our people, including those who are being targeted by xenophobic individuals.

When you travel outside Ghana and see beautiful markets that governments are building for market women, you come to social media to praise them. But when you come back to Ghana and hear that the govt is building decent markets for market women, you turn around and insult the NDC

[With All Due Respect @cdzas]

If President Mahama delivers the dual-carriageway expressway, completes the Suame Interchange, KNUST Hospital and Kejetia Phase 2, operationalises the Afari Military Hospital, and completes the abandoned Krofrom Market, the NPP's dominance in Kumasi could be over. Simple.

TOR: A LIVING SEMBLANCE OF RESILIENCE

The CEO of TOR, Edmond Kombat is a case study for this recovery story of Tema Oil Refinery.

You remember TOR was nearly sold out for pittance under the NPP regime? Yes! Its the same TOR under discourse.

They said it was an attempted 6-year lease agreement from gov’t on a $22 Million deal in 2023 to Torentco Asset Management Group, a private entity, to run the refinery.

Just within 18 months, it has posted an unrivaled GH¢1.24 Billion, a dollar equivalent of $100M in profits. How awesome!

Can you imagine that posted profit is more than quadruple the entire money for that sham of a 6-year lease agreement?

It was a sale than a lease, as some put it. We nearly lost our beautiful refinery. Thanks to the vigilance and push back from discerning Ghanaians.

The last CEO of TOR in recent memory with a breathing space at the refinery was Isaac Osei in 2017.

From thence, the institution had failed to conduct auditing into its books, post any revenue or operate on its feet.

Infact, it was shut down!

Until Mahama assumed office, the state entity was on the verge of lease because the government had failed to resuscitate it.

Then, how did Mahama do it? Vision, competence, resilience and hardwork.

Beginning June 2026, TOR will be refining crude oil to drastically plummet Ghana’s import bill of over $10 Billion annually.

Even if we do $500M worth of crude oil refining, which is about 5% of our total bill annually, it is still substantial in meeting our fuel demand.

How for 6 years, Ghana made continuous losses amid higher fuel prices when no substantial effort was taken to revive the moribund refinery remains a puzzle.

From a clamp down to GH¢1.24 Billion profits, we have not celebrated the team at TOR enough. And its true!

Another great feat is the CEO posting audit records from 2020 to date. That is a remarkable leadership.

This achievement is a big relief to the country. Jobs will be created, the economy will receive a pat and Ghanaians will derive the general benefits.
