Ghana cocoa farmers are looking toward a March harvest recovery after a poor start to the season caused by heavy rains and drought. Output is expected to fall by at least 16% this season following adverse weather patterns. The downturn threatens global supply, with the country's cocoa regulator citing severe climate pressures on agricultural yields.
