Structure and Operation

The Chief Executive is the overall administrative head of the Ghana Cocoa Board. He is assisted by three Deputy Chief Executives who have administrative responsibilities for Finance and Administration, Agronomic and Quality Control and Marketing.

There are eight Directors at COCOBOD Head Office responsible for Human Resource, Research, Audit, Finance, Medical, Legal, Special and General Services.

In addition, there are Seven Departments/ Units which are headed by Departmental Heads. These are Public Relations, Security, Procurement, Scholar-ships, Information Technology, Estates and Transport. Except for the Public Relations, Security and Scholarships departments which report directly to the Chief Executive, the remaining departments report to respective directorates which finally report to the Chief Executive.

The Board is governed by a Board of Directors composed of bankers, economists, workers' representatives and cocoa farmers.
