Cocoa export is the biggest source of Ghanaâ??s core revenue from agriculture.\nThis study employs the cointegration approach to measure the impact of the\nfactors that influenced cocoa export performance in Ghana after the cocoa\nrehabilitation project was introduced into the cocoa sector from 1988 to 1993\nby analyzing relevant time series data from 1988 to 2018. The results of the\nanalyses show that all the variables used in the study do not substantially influence\ncocoa exports in the long run. The study concludes that even though\nthe cocoa rehabilitation project may have had a lasting impact on the performance\nof the cocoa sector in recent years; resulting in increments in foreign\nexchange revenue, production and exports, the project to a larger extent has\nfailed to adequately cater for all of the needs of the most important stakeholder\nof the cash cropâ??the farmer. The study recommends that Government\nshould restructure and empower the Ghana Cocoa Board through the\nMinistry of Food and Agriculture to ensure proper supervision and accountability\nin the management of cocoa sector reforms.
