Blog entry: Bill Guyton and Tracey Duffey
Last week, the World Cocoa Foundation and the Ghana Cocoa Board led an industry delegation of 30 companies and trade associations on a tour of farmer support and educational programs in Ghana. The delegation was able to follow the cocoa supply chain, from the farms to the sea ports, including tours of warehouses, processing facilities, and quality control centers. Tracey and I have asked those traveling on the trip to share some of their observations and experiences which we will post.
The World Cocoa Foundation staff sincerely thank the Ghana Cocoa Board, Ministry of Manpower, IFESH, STCP, ICI and their partners, as well as company members who helped organize and participate in this trip.
