What is the Kuapa Kokoo co-operative and why are Ghanaian farmers choosing to join it?
Kuapa Kokoo is a cocoa farmers' co-operative based in Ghana. Cocoa is the second biggest export after gold and Ghana is the second biggest exporter of cocoa in the world. Communities derive money from cocoa. Ghanaian farmers choose to become Kuapa Kokoo co-operatives, given that it provides them with a fair deal and invests in areas like schools; toilets; paying for farmers' education and training. Other cocoa companies simply don't provide farmers' communities with any benefits save for poor salaries.

How does cocoa get to the US?
Tetteh Quarshie was born in 1842 . He served as an apprentice in a blacksmith's shop at Akropong belonging to the Basel Missionaries. His hobby was farming. In 1870, Tetteh Quarshie went to work on the island of Fernando Po in the Gulf of Guinea where, under the Spanish, cocoa, imported from South America, was grown and guarded like gold. Workers were searched before they left the island to ensure that the precious cocoa beans didn't leave with them. Tetteh Quarshie realised how this crop could help him and his family and planned a way to carry the beans to the Gold Coast (Ghana). About 1879 he returned to Ghana with several cocoa beans (the Amelonado beans), which he had swallowed. He went through the routine searches and managed to leave the island safely. Once off the island he waited for nature to take it's course and recovered the beans. He planted the seeds in Mampong, near Akropong in the Akwapim area of Ghana where he felt that the climate was suitable. The seeds took root successfully. Tetteh Quashie made history. He distributed pods to friends and relatives who undertook to plant the cocoa. They, in turn, handed seeds other farmers. Soon the planting spread to what is now the Ashanti Region and the area became the biggest cocoa producing area in the world. It was at this point that the Basel Missionaries took an interest and exported cocoa to Switzerland. The result was that the Swiss chocolate industry was born.
