The Chamber of Cocoa Marketers Ghana was formally launched in Accra on Thursday 13 August 2026, bringing together members, traditional leaders and partners from across the cocoa value chain.
A chamber, formally constituted The Chamber of Cocoa Marketers Ghana was officially launched on Thursday 13 August 2026 at the Auditorium of the Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons, Ridge, Accra. Proceedings ran from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The launch marks the Chamber's transition from the Licensed Cocoa Buyers Association of Ghana, established on 23 November 2010, into a chamber constituted as a company limited by guarantee. The distinction is not cosmetic A voluntary association can convene its members; a chamber can hold them to enforceable standards, and can negotiate on their behalf on a durable institutional footing.
Attended across the value chain The auditorium was filled by member companies, traditional leaders, regulators and partners drawn from across Ghana's cocoa value chain licensed buyers, grinders and processors, artisanal producers and allied institutions. Nananom attended in state, and were seated among the invited guests for the duration of the ceremony.
The Chamber unveiled The ceremony included addresses from the platform, a cultural performance, and the formal unveiling of the Chamber of Cocoa Marketers Ghana before the assembled guests.
