CMC launches 24-hour cocoa operations

The Cocoa Marketing Company (CMC) has introduced a 24-hour operational model to enhance the logistics and export value chain for cocoa in Ghana. The initiative, spearheaded by CMC Managing Director Wisdom Kofi Dogbey, focuses on three key pillars: Offload 24, Load 24, and Export 24. These pillars aim to keep critical sections of the cocoa movement chain operational beyond traditional working hours, addressing inefficiencies in the cocoa logistics chain.

The launch of this model aligns with President John Dramani Mahama’s 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Programme, and it brings together various stakeholders, including government, COCOBOD, Licensed Buying Companies (LBCs), cocoa processors, and international cocoa buyers. Dogbey emphasized that the initiative marks a significant shift in CMC's approach to cocoa logistics, warehousing, processing support, and exports, aiming to strengthen logistics integration, improve cocoa movement, support domestic processing, and enhance coordination among various stakeholders.
