The Chief Executive of Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD), Joseph Boahen Aidoo, has urged cocoa farmers at Wassa Amenfi in the Western South region to enrol on the Cocoa Management System (CMS) being spearheaded by the Board to improve operations within the cocoa sector.

The CMS Project was recently launched to capture a comprehensive and accurate data base on cocoa farmers in the country to facilitate and enhance planning in the cocoa sub-sector.

Mr Aidoo was speaking at the inauguration of the Wassa Amenfi Cocoa Farmer’s Cooperative Union at Wassa Amenfi, where he inducted an eleven-member executive team into office for a two-year term.
