The Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) has announced the full settlement of outstanding obligations to individual holders of Cocoa Bills who did not participate in the Government’s Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP).
In a statement issued by its Public Affairs Department, COCOBOD confirmed that GH¢162 million has been paid to non‑DDEP Cocoa Bill holders, bringing closure to arrears that remained after the implementation of the DDEP in 2023.
The Board explained that financial constraints had delayed payments in the aftermath of the debt exchange, but stressed that all legitimate debts have now been honored.
COCOBOD expressed appreciation to affected investors for their patience and reaffirmed its commitment to restoring confidence in the cocoa sector. The release emphasized that the settlement reflects the institution’s determination to ensure the sustainability of Ghana’s cocoa industry and safeguard investor trust.
For further inquiries, COCOBOD directed the public to contact its Public Affairs Department via email at public_affairs@cocobod.gh or call 0302‑66‑17‑66.
