Importing Cocoa Beans from Ghana
Number of pages:

ABSTRACT:
A 16 page paper establishing a Ghana-US supply chain. A large trading house seeks to construct a supply chain by which it will import cocoa beans from Ghana to a factory near Chicago. The sale of cocoa is controlled by Ghana's "Cocobod, the Government agency with responsibility for the export and international sales of all the cocoa beans from Ghana," and all sales necessarily will involve this government agency. Of further consideration is that, as an agricultural product, cocoa is a seasonal commodity and is available only twice a year. Further complicating the issue is that although Ghana produces 70 percent of the world's supply of cocoa, Ghanaian cocoa farmers have been experiencing declining yields in recent years. Early ordering is crucial, as is careful port selection. Bibliography lists 16 sources.
