Production and trade data on cocoa value chain in Ghana

This dataset covers upstream, midstream and downstream behavioural patterns that were used to identify precursors of vulnerabilities in Ghana’s cocoa value chain. Data were obtained via focus group discussions and individual interviews with cocoa farmers in Ghana and extracted from annual reports of the global cocoa industry published by the International Cocoa Organisation. Behavioural patterns were established from transcripts and reports using NVivo as the computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software.
