More Join Cadbury Cocoa Partnership
The Cadbury Cocoa Partnership initiative is now active in 100 Ghanaian communities, Chief Executive Officer of Cadbury plc, Todd Stitzer, has said in Accra. Mr Stitzer was in the country last week to check on progress made since the launch of the cocoa partnership last year.The ₤45-million Cadbury Cocoa Partnership is meant to help improve the livelihoods of the Ghanaian cocoa farmers. Research by the Institute of Development Studies, Sussex, and the University of Ghana, Legon, into Sustainable Cocoa Production in Ghana, funded by Cadbury, showed that the average production for a cocoa farmer has dropped to 40 percent of potential yield and that cocoa farming has become less attractive to the next potential generation of farmers.
