The Executive Director, Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria, Dr Patrick Adebola, has said the country will not attain the desired level of food security
Despite the contributions of cocoa to Nigeria’s economy and its potential to do better through higher production, value chain development, local consumption and export
To benefit from $400 extra price on every tonne of premium quality cocoa beans being enjoyed by farmers in Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire, Nigeria has teamed up with the two countries to fulfil the conditions.
Cocoa farmers in Nigeria have been advised to prevent rejection of cocoa exports by avoiding poor agronomical practices capable of jeopardising the efforts and resources of stakeholders in the international market.
