Ghana Cocoa Traceability System for smallholders

Track every bean from farm to European port Ghana's 800,000 smallholder cocoa farmers supply up to 65% of exports to the EU. The Ghana Cocoa Traceability System (GCTS), launched for the 2025/26 harvest with GIZ support, tracks beans from pod to port, proving sustainable production for European buyers while raising farm incomes. What you can do - Cocoa cooperatives: register farms on GCTS and keep GPS polygon maps current - Chocolate brands and buyers: source through traceable lots that meet EU due-diligence rules - Students and advocates: learn how traceability backs forest protection and child-labour safeguards How it works The Ghana Cocoa Board coordinates nationwide rollout; transparency platforms like SASI link Ghanaian farms with European ports such as Hamburg and Rotterdam. Why it matters Traceability turns a commodity crop into verified livelihoods, farmers benefit when the chain is visible.
