Cocoa Swollen Shoot Virus Disease Control Unit

The Cocoa Swollen Shoot Virus Disease Control Unit (CSSVDCU) is responsible for the survey and control of the Cocoa Swollen Shoot Virus disease (CSSV).

The Unit's activities include the removal and destruction of swollen shoot diseased cocoa trees from the farms and supply the farmers with the swollen shoot disease resistant hybrid for replanting.  The Head Office is in Accra, with regional offices in all the six cocoa growing regions. The Unit operates from 41 cocoa districts throughout the six cocoa growing regions. The Bunso Cocoa College is part of the CSSVD Control Unit and serves as the training centre for the CSSVDCU field staff.

The Cocoa College has the facilities to host training services for other organisations and institutions including NGOs that wish to organise training for their staff or group of people. The College has accommodation facilities to cater for large numbers of people.
