“COCOBOD should not stop importing inputs, but whatever inputs were imported must be sold at market prices—Prices should match that of the market—so that there will be no need for smuggling.”

“We have to conduct procurement efficiently to ensure value for money.”
“Review governance structure of COCOBOD so that it is professionally run, made accountable and transparent through public reporting.”
