Documents how the Ghana Cocoa Traceability System integrates farm mapping, producer training, and risk analytics to move national cocoa supply toward full traceability.
This case is significant because Ghana is one of the world’s largest cocoa producers, and smallholder farmers dominate its cocoa sector. Building a robust traceability infrastructure helps Ghana meet growing international demand for deforestation-free cocoa. However, maintaining accuracy in farm maps, updating risk data, and sustaining training programs for often remote farmers are non-trivial tasks. There’s also the risk that the costs of system participation could exclude the poorest growers unless supported by public or private funding.
