Mr Adeola Adegoke, National President of CFAN, called on the country’s economic managers to bring sanity to the cocoa industry in Nigeria.

In a chat with journalists, added that the $400 per tonnes, which he described as Living Income Differential (LID), represented N55 billion losses annually.

He said: “Because of the unregulated cocoa economy in Nigeria, there is no measure put in place to be able to collect this $400 aside from the floor price that we sell our beans.

This $400 is an addition that is meant to support the livelihood of the cocoa farmers in all cocoa-producing nations. In Ghana and Ivory Coast today, they are collecting it.

But today, Nigeria is been denied $400 per tonne, multiply it by 265,000 metric tonnes, and it would be running into about N55 billion.

“This is to show you that the farmers are been shut-changed and it is because of this our unregulated cocoa economy in Nigeria.

That is why we are saying that for us to move forward to be even with our counterpart in Ghana and Ivory Coast we have to collect that money.

“We can’t allow about N55 billion annually to waste. This is enough to turn around the fortunes of smallholders farmers in Nigeria. This is enough to turn around the economy of the cocoa communities and to move the economy of the nation forward.”
