The Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) has announced moves to increase the annual production of coffee in the medium-term through its Seed Production Division (SPD).
According to the regulator, this has become necessary as a result of the growing demand for the commodity both domestically and internationally.
In an interaction with the media, Executive Director of the SPD, Faustine Asamany said plans are underway to distribute free coffee seeds across the country in June this year.
With a target of distributing some 630,000 coffee seeds, the COCOBOD says it plans to ramp up production of coffee to 50,000 tonnes annually.
