Produce Buying Co., Ghana’s biggest purchaser of cocoa from farmers, plans to buy as much as half of the country’s light-crop harvest of beans, said Joseph Osei Manu, the company’s deputy managing director.
“We hope to reach 40,000” metric tons by the end of the harvest in September, he said in an interview in Accra, the capital, yesterday. “As at the first week ending June 16, we had purchased 19,000” tons, he said.
