The Ghana Cocoa Board has announced the fulfillment of its outstanding financial obligations worth GH¢162 million to individual owners of Cocoa Bills who did not participate in DDEP.
This announcement, given on the 15th of July 2026, follows the implementation of the DDEP in 2023, where payment to some non-Cocoa Bill holders remained outstanding.
With the payment of this outstanding obligation,COCOBOD has now fully settled these obligations as part of its commitment to honour all legitimate debts.
They then advised all beneficiaries to contact their respective fund managers to access their payments.
COCOBOD further expressed appreciation to the affected investors for their patience and understanding, reaffirming its commitment to restoring confidence, strengthening its financial position, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of Ghana’s cocoa industry.
This payment resolves a critical cash lock-up that had lingered since the 2023 sovereign restructuring.
