„Cocoa is big business in Ghana, where it accounts for more than 30 percent of export earnings. Kuapa Kokoo, a Ghanaian cooperative of cocoa producers, takes advantage of Fair Trade practices to give farmers resources to keep cocoa quality high, protect the environment, and improve their lives.“

„I know other producers who are getting into debt. Some abandon coffee altogether, and then the father goes and seeks work in the city or in a hotel, or in the United States. When that happens, the family is split up. If the family stays together, it protects the children - against problems such as drug addiction.'“

International Coffee Organization
„Prior to the collapse in international prices in the early 1990s, Ghana's export unit values were relatively stable at around 75% to 80% of the ICO Robusta Indicator price. With grower prices fixed by the government, levels were maintained by a cross-subsidy from the cocoa sector even during the international price slump after 1989. The low international prices in the early 1990s, combined with the difficulties encountered during the transition to a liberalised market, led to a decline in grower prices immediately after liberalisation. However, from 1993/94 onwards, the grower price has typically been over 65% of the f.o.b.“
