Cocoa farmers have besieged the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) in Accra, demanding a reversal of the recent reduction in the farmgate price of cocoa.
The protesting farmers say they will not leave the premises until their concerns are addressed and insist on meeting the directors of COCOBOD to press home their demands.
The situation at the premises has been described as chaotic, with heightened tension as farmers chant and call for immediate action from the authorities.
Security personnel at COCOBOD are currently on the grounds, attempting to calm the protesters and maintain order while efforts are made to manage the situation.
