.....Most of the world's cocoa is grown in a narrow belt 10 degrees either side of the Equator because cocoa trees grow well in humid tropical climates with regular rains and a short dry season.... if Switzerland could grow cocoa trust me they would do in bulk...

Why do you think Africa was colonized??
Till today they still take our gold and valuable resources and give us guns, clothes and paper money.

Nobody is asking Africa to do trade by itself, how on earth would that even happen! But it is imperative Africa wakes up and stop being the dumping ground of the world.

Answer me this, why does Morocco want to join ECOWAS with the full backing of the EU?

You have intentionally decided not to get it.

Honestly, you aren't making your own research. or probably brainwashed. Switzerland is not producing cocoa beans simply because she is not investing in the production and not because she can't do it . To grow the cocoa trees in Switzerland. You would only need to cut down some forest and put a big greenhouse there. and that is all. greenhouse technology eradicate issues that comes with climate condition.

By the way, did you know that the original home of the cocoa tree is not Africa, but Mexico? The word chocolate is actually derived from Nahuatl, the old language of the Aztecs. In Mexico, they make chocolate, but most is for its traditional use.

if Ghana can get as much milk it required to produce in large quantity like swizz, she will have long become a big time chocolate producer. since it only takes goverment to send apprentice to go learn the best practice abroad but unfortunately, it is easier to transport dried cocoa beans to Europe than to receive fresh milk from Europe.

what africa need most now is industrialization. not banning trade. an industrialized enviroment will control itself naturally .

Morroco does more trade with ecowas than Any other African blocks , morroco has a potential to increase its growth, she is importing a lot of Nigeria crude oil , Ghana cocoa beans and trying to export her phosphate down west africa ... she is coming to ecowas to be more competitive. what is wrong if Nigeria seek to join SADA in South Africa. it is all about opportunity..

The west aren't your enemy , you africa are your own enemy. look into the mirror and tell me who you see. that is your stopping block.

Now you are beginning to understand,
Whats so wrong in Ghana processing and turning some of its paste to high quality chocolate and coners the African market?

Once Africa wakes up, most economies would collapse, it is inevitable IMF more than any institution knows this.

".....de ceux pour qui ‘sans l’Afrique, la France deviendrait une puissance de troisième rang’” (speaking about President Chiraq) ..one of those for whom “without Africa France would become a third-rate power"

swizz didn't just become top leading chocolate producer and neither did Ghana just rose to become world cocoa leading producer . All takes planing and effort.

Ghana has chocolate industry also but not on the level of international standard. anyway that is a good development for a country that has far less infrastructure compare to swizz.


Africa can't do trade to herself only . we need each other back....

Your minister of finance wants to reduce rice importation and totally end tomato importation among other things, it's the sensible thing to do,

Why not encourage your country to keep importing? What exactly are you arguing about?

Would Ghana allow Nigerian Cocoa anyway near its market and claim free market? Your farmers would be bankrupt in a matter of months.

Once again Nigeria's ports are opened, land borders would be open in a few months.

West Africa is not known to have ANY niche,

Importation is an economic opportunities. Ghana is not industrialised enough to consumed much more larger cocoa beans but produce enough for export and her local consumption . importing cocoa beans to Ghana is naturally unproductive just like how crude oil is naturally unproductive to be export to Nigeria. You can't export weapons to USA, it is unproductive venture. trade dosnt work blindly .

Your arguments are supposed to be made by people who have no love for Africa.
Notice I put independent in quotations? If Ghana gets sanctioned by US/EU, you would crumble in 2 weeks, except of course Ghanaians have developed a way to digest cocoa paste.

You are not thinking in the other way , what we happen to swizz economy that has about 2 billion dollar worth of chocolate industry, what will happen to other international buisness like nestle and others that are big enough to employed thousands of people.

This is the reason we must welcome comparative advantage

Saudi agricultural investment abroad - land grab or benign strategy?

"After food costs spike, Saudis spent billions buying up farm land around the world.
"...they control rice farms in Ethiopia, Sudan and the Philippines, cattle ranches in California and Arizona, wheat fields in Ukraine and Poland, ranches in Argentina and Brazil and shrimp producers in Mauritania.."

Imagine if Nkruma visits an Africa that still can't feed itself?

The simple logic says you augment and compliment when consumption exceed production. The more you become more productive the more there is need for much more raw materials . Your Saudi Arabia approach can easily be trashed by telling you how much food is still import or salt she is still import for her oil industry .

To stop rounding up in circle with you ..... read and learn here. ... self sufficiency is equal with close economy and it is not good for economy development. and neither is it an economy policy...

You didn't spend an hour proclaiming the virtues of protectionist polices? The policies you advocate for are being practiced the results are clear.

According to me America is the most self-sufficient country in the world. It does not produce all it needs because it can import much at a cheaper cost. However, no other country can create a full economy and supply itself by its own resources than America. Only a few materials does America lack. All other countries are very much worse off. Yet America still do import than export.

The idea that rich oil country like Nigeria or other wealthy societies like Dubai/ Qatar can buy their way to self-sufficiency is nonsense. Oil and other resources end.

UAE to reduce dependence on imported food products - News | Khaleej Times

It's only common sense, what exactly are you arguing about? You can't depend on outsiders to feed your people, it is very senseless.

Germany can afford to import food because it is protected by the EUROPEAN UNION market which doesn't joke with its local industries. How else would it

I asked you a simple question , how has Iran been able to still stand relatively strong despite US sanctions?
Answer: Iran is one of the few 'independent' countries in the world.

my simple argument is , no self sufficient nation in the world . not even Iran......

Stop contradicting yourself. Germany import and so those UAE.

gaddafi was a good leader but sometimes he had bouts of madness

i have read the greenbook too he talks about distributing chicken to every libyan what the heck is that
the great man made river is one of the greatest projects undertaken by gaddafi it was amazing

but gaddafi had massive oil resources at his disposal

it is not about the matter of distributing chicken around , it is about the matter of having equal opportunity but with different responsibility.

A country that cannot feed itself is not worth calling itself a country,
You are at the mercy of international sanctions and diplomatic manipulations, hence you have to always play nice
When they suggest an american military base in your country, you have to smile and nod.
Read about Clintons destuction of Haiti with cheap American rice
There is nothing wrong with importation but you have to be able to feed yourself, we are not situated in the desert hence have no excuse.
We fought a war in Nigeria that waged on for years until food supplies were targeted, you can't honestly call yourself a country when you import your staple food, even YOUR country realizes that, Ghanaian economy is not a model to be followed, even they are ashamed and are hoping to adjust.
You quote your country like you are a model to be copied?

I actually don't get it . repeating the mantra of the custom boss. "" A country than cannot feed itself is not worth calling itself a country"" That is basically bullshit. United Arab Emirates import almost everything she eats except maybe dates and some very basic food capable of growing in the saheel , this is also the same with Germany which is the second largest importer and third largest exporter of consumer oriented agricultural products worldwide, and by far the most important European market for foreign producers, yet it has one of the most enviable economy . until you understand that importation itself is not harmful but failure to annexed the opportunity that comes with it. Nigeria should be talking about industrialization not agriculture practise like the days of Noah


This is simply a discussion anyway , whoever feed you the lies, there is no America millitary base in Ghana . and if America millitary base exist, what is wrong ? though there is none. There is America millitary base In United kingdom , Japan, Germany and most of the powerful nation that are way prosperous than Ghana yet it is not a problem. Get it, one of the way weaker nation maintain stability is hiding thru the arms of powerful nation , you don't argue equal terms with a country that can cast you of the surface in a blink of eye . millitary power is even far more important than balanced economy . You don't do these by subjugating yourself but by exchanging mutual policy and strenghten diplomacy on equal terms. This is the purpose of African union , same purpose of ecowas and likewise United nation. . How will Nigeria agree to have equal right with Gambia if mutual co-operation were not in place?.

This is why leader like kwame inkrumah argue for single africa millitary . I.2 billion africa as a state is even scary to even America.

Have you ask yourself what is keeping Ghana off from attack even when nations very close to her like Burkina and cote devoire have been attack many times.

when it comes to matter of importation, Ghana has a regulated standard. you can't just import dirt into Ghana. Go CHECK ghana market and see the kind of product entering the country , and there is current plan to monitor the kinds of phones and computer gadget entering the country to ease off fake product . Haiti should have be proactive in that measure .

Ghana is actually not right there but it is envy to so many africa nations. from its health care insurance policy to its free education system . it is something to be proud of .

Lol even Nigeria has exports more than it imports. It's hardly brought up.

most Nigerians are still under the false illusion that exportation is far more better than importation. thinking a progressive country is judge by exporting more while limiting importation. forgetting that a progressive country is a nation that is productive .productivity is a yardstick of development not exportation.

The population of Ghana is 28million while that of Lagos is 21million so I don't understand where the comparison is coming from in the first place,
Ghanaian economy works like most African economies, they export precious raw materials like bauxite, aluminuim ore, (because they have no means to process it) and import consumables like rice, pharmaceutical products, textiles same old story. We have always been the dumping ground of the world,

Everybody needs somewhere to dump their crap, that's why Moroccan wants to join ECOWAS, even though they are not even situated in the region.

China did not grow by throwing open it's borders, it grew by being the factory of the world, it mobilized it's workforce and made lax labour laws, now EVERYTHING is made in China, if a new fighter jet, sport car, or machinery is unveiled in the west you can be sure China would copy it and goodluck getting a Chinese court to rule in your favour, now they are leading in some aspects.

Why is Iran more powerful than Saudi Arabia/UAE that imports everything?
Why is Iran still standing relatively strong despite US/EU sanctions while countries like Venezuela, Zimbabwe folded like a pack of cards?

Rice importation has not been banned! CBN won't grant you forex on things like rice and palm oil,
That is another import that drives me crazy! PALM OIL!!!! IMPORTING PALM OIL/VEGETABLE OIL IN WEST AFRICA, big shame

That should not be an excuse. Singapore is comparable to America.... if population is your yardstick of comparism, then no country is worth comparable to China and India judging by their I.3 to 1.4 billion population. not even America should be compared with India since population didn't do justice. ..... economy can be compared in whatever form . Ghana and Nigeria are comparable.

America has the best most enviable economy. yet it import more than export despite trump protectionism trade policy.

The reduction of rice importation the growth and consumption of local rice
The reduction of rice importation the growth and consumption of local rice
The Ministry of Agriculture says plans are in place to reduce the importation of rice by at least 50 percent this year.

This is to enhance the growth and consumption of local rice in Ghana.

Currently, Ghana imports 331 million dollars of rice annually, a development stakeholders have described as worrying.

Speaking to Citi Business News Deputy Minister of Agriculture, George Oduro said measures such as the ‘planting for food and jobs’ as well as the newly introduced Irrigation land facility system should help reduce the importation of rice by half.

“This year alone, our target to stop the importation of rice by 50 percent, maybe we can achieve that or more.” He said.

He also added that the importation of tomatoes is equally being looked at to reduce it soon.

“Then tomatoes too, we are trying by the end of this year to stop the importation of tomatoes and if possible export.”

He, however called for a collaborative effort to achieve this feat.

“We are putting measures to stop these importation of these food items because the possibility of us producing them here is there, we can. But only if we come together to show the interest. That is the only way we can solve this problem.” He added


Ghana rice import has never been 1billion dollars

By food and agriculture organization.

""The countries on the list, which include 31 in Africa, remained unchanged over the last six months, according to the Crop Prospects and Food Situation report issued on Thursday 19th September, 2019 by the FAO"".

The 41 countries currently in need of external food assistance are: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cabo Verde, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Eritrea, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Guinea, Haiti, Iraq, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Libya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Myanmar, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syrian Arab Republic, Uganda, Venezuela, Yemen and Zimbabwe"".

StaffofOrayan:
The Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry, Robert Ahomka Lindsay has disclosed that Ghana imported rice worth $1.1 billion in 2017. According to him, rice importation “takes 82% of all imports into the country”.Nov 9 2018.

Ghana actually needs the OP's advise more than Nigeria. You can keep living in a fools paradise, but West Africa needs to get its act together.

Once again if war breaks out, Ghana would be one of the first countries to become an IDP.

You have to understand how Ghana market work.... for example the production of cement in Ghana far exceed its consumption rate yet goverment still allow importation . this has been very good for the economy as it force cement price to be well at lower price., Also in the textile industry, Ghana has gotten enough satisfy production ratio, it can even banned importantion in that sector as it is self sufficient yet it encourage importation. this has force competition for better quality and value for money.

Ghana has improve on its rice production and there is intensive plan to improve on it, there is even a measure to banned it in the next three years as the future plan to grow more works. but Ghana that I know will not banned rice but rather limit the importation rate. competition is good for every economy.

Go check food sufficiency report. Ghana is more sufficient in food production than most country in west africa including Nigeria.

Look like a private industrial park that just about started, This is not what I am talking about. I mean we need Gov funded Industrial parks - because gov has the muscle to provide infrastructure and incentives to attract manufactures.

Yes, it is fully private company. but fully run by Ghana locally owned company and as well as other private one to be roll in kumasi and others...The kumasi one happens to be the biggest of them all.

Actually as a hater of capitalist system myself, i actually don't support private driven investment but it seems Ghana focus on UK model (mixed economy).that is by the way an avenue for goverment to spend less while creating bigger investment.

My interest is, the company rolling out the project is a Ghanaian local company.

Mkenya2019:
Yes - of course both[b] raw materials and market are two main consideration[/b] - if something is heavy & perishable - then process at sources - otherwise it may be cheaper to process near the market(cities) - but look at this - there is so much one rice mill can do in a district - they are not SCALABE. Within an industrial park - say you food processing park - where all raw rice or beans or maize will brought for processing - - folks selling packaging materials will set up there - all labour will be there --gov can focus on providing reliable & cheap power there --- you start reaping ECONOMIES OF SCALE.

Distributing factories to every district is more political than economical.

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
I don't agree with you but I think it is better if the Industries are spread out. Let me give you a good example if you take volta area it is well known for rice so they're right Industries rice processing can be in Volta. It to take cocoa it is in the Southern part of Ghana and that is where a lot of chocolate Industries can be located. If you take soya beans it is in the central and northern part of Ghana that's where a lot of cooking oil Industries can be situated. It is not good putting all your industry in one place because the transport from the farms or from the raw materials to the city or where the Industries are will be too costly it is better to put the Industries as close to the raw materials as possible to cut down on transport

You are only repeating the initiative. that is the bases of one district one factory.

Mkenya2019:
okay maybe in major towns - but as long as one district one factory - is private sector driven - no problem. But what we need are huge industrial parks in major towns - at least for import substitutions - a lot of chinese trinkets that we import - can be manufactured here in Africa.

We need to copy german model - train millions of kids in vocational skills - then open industries - otherwise we will have Nigeria kind of problem where population is a curse not a blessing.

I will checkout the dawa industrial parks.

The dawa industrial park is about 80 million dollars investment.

West Africa has a number of challenges but one of the biggest challenges is Nigeria Nigeria is dragging West Africa down and also the African continent. Just look at Kenya look at the few Nigerians in Kenya and the problem which they are causing. Look at the few Nigerians in South Africa at the problem which they are causing. Now a lot of this west African countries have millions of Nigerians which do not want to progress and most of the Nigerians in this country are illiterate so they are driving the Nation's down. Look what has just happened Nigeria closes borders and Ghana Togo Benin Republic and Cameroon economics are shrinking even Nigeria's economy is also shrinking. These are the big problem which we face in West Africa one country will just destroy the whole of west Africa and it is always Nigeria

Ghana economy is not affected . pls....

Mkenya2019:
Yes about time - because the industry can easily double it's earning - and because the money will go to individual farms - that will really dent poverty in rural places - rather than hot oil money.

I don't think one district one factory is going anywhere - Kenya have had such similar hair-brained ideas - Economic Stimulus - and they have failed.

What works is Ethiopia kind of industrial parks.

It should be [[b]b]one industrial park one district. [/b]G[/b]ov buys or provide land that can house several industries - provide horizontal infrastructures - roads, water, housing and sewage - and then invite foreign and local investors to set up factories.

Ethiopia Industrial Parks
https://medium.com/@EthiopiaEU/industrial-parks-development-in-ethiopia-f09eb704d741

one district one industrial pack is impossible. ""Ghana has over 254 district"" . even China can't try it . that will be way too expensive and practically hold revenue into a halt. since this company will be motivated with incentives as well.

Having a major recommend industrial park is more practical than hosting development across major districts. there must be district known for agriculture practice and as well as industrial hub park ( where manufacturing of goods will be deployed).

one district one factory is a good initiative if goverment doesn't fall ball on the initiative and policy.

Ghana has is industrial park as well. it is known as ""dawa industrial park"" and many been developed. two or three as well.

Mkenya2019:
Okay the one district one factory - how does that work? What gov role in that? Is it really sustainable? Doe they generate the economics of scale/location/consolidation.

The one district one factory initiative is just a policy Pioneer by goverment. it is really going to be implement by private sectors. govement is only providing incentives for the development. the overall project is private driving ....

one of goverment initiatives is lowering tax or abolishing tax for a particular perioud of years if established in economic zone. though they still pay tax but it will only be income tax payed on staff salary ....

Mkenya2019:
Yes great ideas.I wonder what would happen if both Ghana and Ivory coast banned export of raw cocoa bans - force the Nestle & the Swiss - to at least some semi-processing locally? We also need to do the same for our tea and coffee - ensure we can do more value addition.

My friend was in Northern Ghana - as agricultural expat - he had good words about Ghana.

Okay the one district one factory - how does that work? What gov role in that? Is it really sustainable? Doe they generate the economics of scale/location/consolidation.

I would go for SEZ - and build a couple of special economic zones - in major cities - attract Chinese to do import-substitution - etc. This is what is working in Ethiopia - and I was in Uganda recently - and they are doing very well on the same - build Chinese SEZs.

Gov all it would do is provide land - and infrastructure. Africa gov need to focus on infrastructure - I saw the road btw Accra & Tema or Kumasi - it very tiny...so you gov need to plug the infrastructure deficit.

currently, both Ghana and ivory coast control about 60 percent of world cocoa beans, while west/ central africa control about 70 if Nigeria and Cameroon are included. Ghana and ivory coast have been able to increase cocoa price for their farmers , starting from next year, farmers in Ghana will be paid an additional 400 dollars on each tonnes of cocoa, scalling up the existing price of 2200 to 2600 dollar per tonnes. And Ghana produce roughly 900, 000 tonnes with a serious quest to improve production to 1.5 million tonnes in next seven years. Ghana had also try to industrialized its cocoa beans since advance nation enjoy the larger chunk of the product, out of 100 billion dollar cocoa industry , only 6 billion dollar is coming down to ivory coast and Ghana. Ghana chocolate is darker and hardy unlike the kind of soft chocolate obtain abroad. so Ghana has been encouraged to improved on the product for a continental taste. swizz chocolate market is worth over 2 billon dollar .

Accra to tema road is impressive and there is construction going on right there to make it a 6 lane track . Accra to kumasi road is also under development. construction has started from Accra itself..... though the work is slow and the road to kumasi is indeed narrow.....


This are some of Ghana made chocolate. it happens my friend in the west like it so much hardy and darker while the world in general want a softer taste..

Mkenya2019:
Yes Ivory coast seem to be an exception - and it helps they didn't abandon cocoa production - like Nigeria did with palm oil - and run to cities to 'feast' on oil money. Ghana has to avoid the Nigeria natural resource curse - and keep focus on growing agriculture, manufacturing and service industries - because mining - will benefit the gov and the a few mining global tycoons. The worst - is all the offshore oil & gas production - literally leave nothing on the ground.

Ghana is seriously developing is agriculture sector. and promoting it aggressively. next year, Ghana is pumping 600 million dollar into cocoa industry. it has already been approved by parliament. out of the 600 million dollar, 5 million dollar will be allocated for school feeding , Ghana school children must consume chocolate drink particularly for the benefit of brain development as it scientifically proven. 7.5 million will be going into cocoa tourism ( promoting cocoa consumption and its intended benefit) 2.5 million dollar for capturing Asia market as it obtain form Ghana cocoaboard memo. Ghana and agriculture are like 5 and 6. they are inseparable.....it has employed more people than any profession.

Mkenya2019:
Interesting - generally I think anglophone are doing better - I don't like what French did and continue to do with their colonies.

cote devoire is not doing that bad, they have the highest minimum wage in west Africa and much more expensive than Ghana in terms of living standard generally. that is a contraction anyway.. but life is good over there averagely , foods is more cheaper ,Access to 24/7 electricity supply in urban area, Good tenant to landlord laws and a lot of French heritage building making it look like a small Paris.


it is just that the development is not as coverd as it is in Ghana and is market is not as developed as such.

Blue3k:
I understand you like protectionism for your cocoa farmers. You can't steadly increase the supply of cocoa beans then become surprised when price dips down. Ghana been going into debt to subsidize cocoa industry. The same attention is given to the processing which you know.

That is if you are looking at it from Political perspective, it is rather a business strategy government adopt to maintain a standard. for example, manufacturer like Apple does two things: they can set the price they sell to their resellers (there is nothing illegal about that), and they can suggest a retail price (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) for also the retailers.The reasons you see Apple phones selling for the same price everywhere. it is a regulated buisness.and about market force. and in cocoa beans, there is always preferences.
Ghana has established herself as a quality producer and world known chocolate have identify themselves with Ghana beans to demonsrate the quality of their brand.

Regarding Debt

Ghana goverment introduce New policy by commercializing the subsidy. it is letting private sector service in . The private sector are one providing incentive to farmers at a commercial rates instead of goverment earning all the burden without compensation. There's integrated database that monitor the flowing of supplier to consumer by the state institution ( cocoaboard) the aim is to seek service and input suppliers willing to provide their goods and services to farmers on profit and have the costs deducted from the farmers at sales time and forwarded to the suppliers. I think this is better idea than subsiding it directly from the goverment.

Entering the asia market and advertising chocolate consumption domestically is cool. The US dairy industry probably loves the got milk campaign and fact milk always served in school.

There have been a lot of domestic and aggressive campaign toward Ghana cocoa this year. recently, the country representative was in China marketing the product and plus the brain development benefit of taking chocolate, it is prudent for Ghana to introduce what she has in bulk for the benefit of her populace .

Nigerians talk about all those things. It's just not the hot topic this second on nairaland. The UBEC and fact Nigerian government subsidies school lunches is shows that. The FG should be worrying about its universities. The states and local governments are ones that should be doing bulk of work.

Nigeria does talk true but not very aggressively like the commitment channel toward the rice production. it is even a shame when you realised a country as diversed as Nigeria has millions of her children out of school, how do you set a standard from there? Ghana is feeding her wards, providing free boarding fercility and a completely free education up to secondary school. when you look at it holistically, Nigeria has done very poor at the primary level. university standard is another issue.
