Opportunity Overview

Ghana is the world's second-largest cocoa producer, yet the majority of its cocoa is exported as raw beans with minimal value addition — a longstanding gap the government is actively incentivising investors to close.

This opportunity involves establishing a grinding and processing facility in the Western Region, adjacent to major cocoa-growing communities. Raw bean supply is secured through the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) licensed buying agents. Processed products (butter, liquor, powder, cake) command a 40–80% premium over raw bean exports.

Key Highlights
COCOBOD licensed supply chain — structured, regulated, reliable input
Processing capacity: 10,000 MT/year at Phase 1, scalable to 30,000 MT
Export incentives: zero VAT on exported processed cocoa products
Free Zone designation available — full profit repatriation, 10-year tax holiday
Proximity to Takoradi Port — Ghana's main commodity export hub
Pre-qualified buyers in Europe and Asia available for introductions
