Cocoa exporters face critical delays and bottlenecks in the export supply chain

Cocoa producers and exporters in Ghana experience significant delays during takeover, processing, and export operations, reducing competitiveness and causing financial losses. Current single-shift operations create bottlenecks that slow turnaround times and prevent timely delivery to international buyers. The lack of 24-hour operational capacity forces exporters to wait days or weeks to move product through the chain, directly impacting cash flow and market access.
