The Cocoa Marketing Company (Ghana) Limited (CMC), led by its Managing Director Wisdom Dogbey, has officially launched a comprehensive 24-hour operational model to improve the movement of cocoa across the country’s logistics and export value chain, a major step toward implementing President John Dramani Mahama’s 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Program.

Launched by the Managing Director with support from senior government officials, the CMC Board and Management, COCOBOD, and industry stakeholders, the new operational framework will extend critical cocoa operations beyond conventional working hours through three interconnected pillars: Offload 24, Load 24, and Export 24.

For CMC, the policy offers an opportunity to strengthen logistics integration, improve cocoa movement, support domestic processing, and better coordinate warehouses, factories, ports, and international markets.

CMC believes extending its own operational capacity will therefore remove bottlenecks that can occur when one section of an otherwise active logistics chain closes.

PRESS RELEASE

CMC Advances 24-Hour Operations Programme to Enhance Cocoa Marketing and Export Efficiency

Accra, Ghana 21-08-2026

Cocoa Marketing Company (Ghana) Limited (CMC) is advancing the implementation of a comprehensive 24-Hour Operations Programme aimed at improving operational efficiency, reducing bottlenecks and strengthening Ghana’s competitiveness in the global cocoa market.

The programme is built around three key operational pillars;
Offload 24, Load 24 and Export 24, covering continuous cocoa receipt from Licensed Buying Companies, loading and deliveries to local processors, and extended shipment operations.

The initiative is designed to address operational challenges associated with limited working hours, including congestion at Take-Over Centres, delays in documentation and shipment processing, and the underutilization of operational assets. It will also improve alignment with key stakeholders such as port authorities, Customs, shipping lines, transporters and processors whose activities increasingly operate beyond conventional working hours.

CMC expects the programme to improve turnaround times, strengthen service delivery, enhance asset utilization and support faster cash-flow cycles while maintaining Ghana’s premium cocoa quality standards.
Implementation will be phased, with emphasis on infrastructure upgrades, staff sensitisation and training, security, safety, technology support and continuous performance monitoring.

CMC remains committed to building a more responsive, efficient and globally competitive cocoa marketing and export system that delivers sustainable value to farmers, buyers, processors and the national economy.

CMC has officially launched its Comprehensive 24-Hour Operational Framework: Offload 24, Load 24, and Export 24, marking a significant step toward improving efficiency, responsiveness, and competitiveness across Ghana’s cocoa logistics and export chain.

Under the new framework, CMC is moving beyond the limitations of the traditional workday to better align its operations with ports, shipping lines, haulers, and other key partners that already operate beyond conventional working hours.

will enable CMC to receive cocoa around the clock from Licensed Buying Companies, helping reduce truck queues and unnecessary delays.

will support the continuous supply of cocoa to local processing factories, enabling processors to make better use of available capacity.

will extend inspection, stuffing, sealing, documentation, and other export preparation activities beyond conventional working hours to support more efficient shipment of Ghana’s cocoa.

The initiative goes beyond simply keeping CMC facilities open at night. It is designed to improve turnaround times, reduce idle capacity, accelerate exports, support employment through multiple shifts, and strengthen Ghana’s competitiveness in the global cocoa trade.

CMC remains equally committed to ensuring that increased operating hours do not compromise safety, quality, or the integrity of Ghana’s cocoa. Operational expansion will therefore be supported by necessary improvements in infrastructure, security, surveillance, health facilities, and other safeguards.

The framework is part of CMC’s contribution to Ghana’s 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Program, with a focus on stronger logistics integration, greater domestic processing, and the faster movement of cocoa from the warehouse to the factory, port, and international market.

As CMC begins this transformation, the message is clear:

Ghana is ready to work.
Ghana is ready to export.
Ghana is ready to compete.
And CMC is ready to play its part.
