In a video shared on Facebook, cocoa farmers in the Ashanti Region were seen reacting to the new price.
Among those who spoke, one farmer kept it simple — she just wants to be paid. For her, the priority is not the figure itself but the assurance that payment will come promptly.
Another farmer was more accepting, noting that due to good performance recorded in certain areas, he was comfortable with the new price.
However, not everyone was convinced. Online, Ghanaians flooded the comment section with scepticism.
Many questioned whether the people featured in the video were genuine cocoa farmers at all, with some pointing out they did not appear to be from the Ashanti Region.
The general feeling was that the real cocoa farmers were yet to speak, and when they do, the reaction would be very different.
The video quickly took on a political tone, with references to the NDC government drawing both mockery and defence from opposing camps.
Some users called for clarity on the current world market price of cocoa before any judgment could be passed on whether GHc2,587 represents a fair deal for farmers.
Cocoa remains central to Ghana's agricultural economy and the livelihoods of countless farming families.
Any shift in its price carries significant social and political weight. As the debate continues to grow online, it is clear that the broader farming community is yet to have its full say — and Ghana is watching.
