On ICAD TV’s morning show “Asorr Korr,” the host addressed recent comments made by , who had criticized the government for allegedly failing to fulfill promises to cocoa farmers.

ICAD TV host Nana Nhyiraba Kwabena Asrifi clarified that while concerns about farmers’ welfare remain important, the recent reduction in cocoa prices is largely driven by fluctuations in the global market rather than direct government control.

He explained that cocoa pricing is tied to international market conditions, meaning governments have limited ability to immediately influence price changes.

According to him, it is important to consider global factors when discussing challenges facing cocoa farmers.

The ICAD TV morning show host argued that placing full responsibility on government may overlook the broader economic realities affecting the cocoa sector.

The issue continues to generate national debate, with growing calls for balanced discussion, policy clarity, and stronger support systems for farmers within the realities of the global cocoa market.
