Government has reintroduced the Free Cocoa Fertiliser Programme as part of its renewed commitment to support cocoa farmers and increase productivity across the sector.
“Ladies and gentlemen, and to the cocoa farmer, I am pleased to announce that President Mahama’s Administration has reintroduced the free cocoa fertiliser programme as an additional support to the Ghanaian cocoa farmer, beginning the 2025/26 crop year,” Minister for Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, declared.
Beginning with the 2025/2026 cocoa season, the programme will provide farmers with a comprehensive package of free inputs to boost yields and reduce production costs.
“Beginning this crop year, President Mahama’s administration will supply;
• free cocoa fertilisers (both liquid and granular),
• free insecticides,
• free spraying machines,
• free fungicides, and
• free flower inducers to farmers.”
Dr. Forson emphasised that the initiative is designed to directly improve farmer output and income.
“Government strongly advises cocoa farmers to apply these inputs solely to improve cocoa yield and their income,” he stated.
The programme is one of several measures introduced in the 2025/26 cocoa season to revamp the sector and restore the dignity and profitability of cocoa farming in Ghana.
