Though global cocoa prices have soared to a record high in April, farmers in Ghana are struggling to make ends meet. The government’s local pricing system has left many cocoa farmers frustrated and hopeless.
In the Afigya Kwabre district of Ghana’s Ashanti region, people like Kingsley Owusu are known for growing Ghana’s leading cash crop. Owusu and his community have been growing cocoa beans for over 30 years.
For many years, the cocoa harvest allowed him to take care of his children, who have all grown to adulthood. But now, at the age of 60, Owusu is worried about his own livelihood.
