I’ve been offline for a while because I had the opportunity to visit my favorite cocoa growers cooperative - Kuapa Kokoo – in Kumasi, Ghana. There is lots to report and I will post various bits and pieces here in the coming days. The trip was an amazing experience and the reception by Kuapa Kokoo representatives and members was warm. I had the chance to interview some of the top leadership at the headquarters and visit one of the village societies (the basic building blocks of the cooperative) at Boakyeasua in the Brong-Ahafo Region to the West of Kumasi. Overall, I got great insight into the way the cocoa economy works in Ghana.

Hello,
I’m current in Ghana right now and have been dying to go to Kuapa Kokoo (as I am a huge fan as well) but I am having a hard time tracking down details of who to contact or how I can visit the farms. If you have any idea I would love to know! I am leaving for Kumasi saturday morning. Please let me know if you have any information,
Thanks in advance,
Kelsey
