COCOBOD SETTLES OUTSTANDING OBLIGATIONS TO NON-DDEP COCOA BILL HOLDERS

Date: 15th July 2026

1. The Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) wishes to inform investors and the general public that it has paid GH¢162 million in full settlement of outstanding obligations to individual holders of Cocoa Bills who did not participate in the Government’s Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP).
2. Following the implementation of the DDEP in 2023, payments to some non-participating Cocoa Bill holders remained outstanding due to COCOBOD’s financial constraints.
3. The Board has now fully settled these obligations as part of its commitment to honour all legitimate debts. Beneficiaries are advised to contact their respective fund managers to access their payments.
4. COCOBOD expresses its appreciation to the affected investors for their patience and understanding and remains committed to restoring confidence, strengthening its financial position, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of Ghana’s cocoa industry.
