A Licensed Buying Company in Ghana’s Cocoa Industry
This case study examines a private Licensed Buying Company (LBC) in Ghana's cocoa industry to assess its compliance with the Committee on World Food Security’s Principles for Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems (CFS-RAI). The company operates as a trader and distributor, purchasing cocoa from approximately 20,000 farmers via 2,000 purchasing clerks and selling to the state-run Cocoa Board of Ghana (COCOBOD). While the company demonstrates high compliance in inclusive structures and stakeholder treatment, it shows significant gaps in formal strategy, human resource systematization, and environmental impact management.
