Who Won the U.S. Presidential Debate?

The 2022 National Best Cocoa farmers have called for the adoption of pragmatic measures to add more value to cocoa for job creation and enhanced income.

Bismark Fuachie, the 2022 National Best Cocoa Farmer, Joyce Dapaah, the 2022 Most Enterprising Female Cocoa Farmer, and Peter Paintsil, the 2022 Most Promising Young Cocoa Farmer, made the call when they visited KOA, a natural cocoa fruit juice producer headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland.

The farmers, who were on an educational tour of Europe to engage with international partners across the cocoa value chain, were particularly impressed by KOA's innovative use of cocoa pulp. They urged the company to expand its operations to all cocoa-growing regions in Ghana.

"If such significant revenue can be generated from cocoa pulp, which we typically discard, imagine the substantial incomes that could be derived from other parts of the cocoa pod," remarked Joyce Dapaah, the 2022 Most Enterprising Female Cocoa Farmer.

Welcoming the farmers to the KOA facility, Mr. Anian Schreiber, Managing Director and Co-Founder of KOA, highlighted that cocoa pulp offers an additional income stream for farmers, with many already participating in the initiative.
