Nigeria, Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, and Cameroon are launching a historic alliance to end decades of raw cocoa exports and form a unified trading bloc.
The Nigerian Government will next Tuesday host Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana in Abuja for a landmark summit where the four countries will launch a historic alliance to end decades of exporting raw cocoa beans and begin negotiating with global markets as a united bloc.
The four countries, which together account for about two-thirds of global cocoa production, are expected to sign the Abuja Declaration at the Cocoa Value Addition Summit 2026 in Abuja, establishing a Cocoa Value Addition Alliance to coordinate policies, promote local processing, harmonise standards and strengthen Africa’s bargaining power in the global cocoa industry.
