Lead:
Cocoa has been a serious agent of deforestation in Ghana and its continued expansion in the Western Region is threatening globally important protected areas and the integrity of the ecosystem. Productivity growth through intensification must be part of the equation. Achieving a yield gap of 50% would have saved more forest than what remains. Panterritorial pricing is subsidizing the destruction of Ghana’s forest resources. Cocoa silvacultural systems and agroforests are likely to have a role in creating corridors between protected areas especially in Western Region.
