In the 1870s, Tetteh Quarshie, a pioneering visionary, introduced cocoa beans to Ghana, laying the groundwork for what would become a cornerstone of the nation’s economy. Today, cocoa not only boosts Ghana’s export earnings but also supports countless farmers, embodying a legacy of resilience, collaboration, and shared prosperity.
This expansive network of trade, spurred by the cocoa industry, enhances economic growth across Africa. As we gather for the Intra Africa Coffee and Chocolate Trade Week, let’s celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit of Tetteh Quarshie and cocoa’s significant role in fostering economic collaboration throughout the continent.
