Cocoa Exports, Production, Cocoa Prices, GDP growth rate, Real exchange rate (1988-2018)

This research was undertaking to find the linkage between the Cocoa Rehabilitation Project (CRP) introduced into the cocoa sector of Ghana from 1988 to 1993 and cocoa exports in Ghana over the last 3 decades. The research identifies and analyses Ghana cocoa exports as the response variable whiles Ghana cocoa production, world cocoa exports, world cocoa production, world cocoa prices, GDP growth rate and real exchange rate are analyzed as explanatory. The study concludes that in the long-run, none of the explanatory variables have any significant impact on the response variable. The data was gathered based on the parameters set out to achieve at the end of the study which was to identify the possible influence the CRP may have had on the success or failures of cocoa exports in Ghana for the period under study.
