    NEWGhana Cocoa Growth Slows to 3.8% in Q1 2026

    Ghana's cocoa sector grew by 3.8% in the first quarter of 2026, a significant slowdown from the 23.1% growth recorded in the same period of 2025. This deceleration raises concerns about the sustainability of the industry's recovery and reduced cocoa's contribution to overall economic growth to 0.9 percentage points. The sector had rebounded strongly in 2025 after four consecutive quarters of contraction in 2024. While international cocoa prices have recovered, the domestic growth moderation impacts the broader agricultural sector's performance.
