Coconut is said to be the next big export product from Ghana after cocoa. As Ghana’s agriculture sector relies mainly on cocoa for export, an African Eye Report recommends the need for serious diversification.
According to the report published in 2019, another commodity industry watchers can take a critical look at is coconut production.
Some see coconut as the new cocoa and stated that Ghana should not concentrate only on cocoa production but also venture into coconut cultivation and must not only consider production but also value addition.
The report further added that the coconut palm is the most important cash crop in the four coastal regions of Ghana; Greater Accra, Central, Volta and Western.
