Stakeholders from across environmental, agricultural, and energy sectors convened at the premises of Fairafric in Suhum for the latest edition of the Climate Talks Dialogue, focusing on the theme: “Green Cocoa Processing: Energy Efficiency & Waste Management.”

The event, which was held on Wednesday, August 27, brought together industry experts, government officials, cocoa processors, environmental advocates, and local community members, aimed to explore sustainable and climate-smart approaches to cocoa processing, one of Ghana’s most critical export sectors.

Held against the backdrop of growing concerns about climate change and unsustainable industrial practices, the dialogue placed a strong emphasis on reducing the carbon footprint of cocoa processing, optimising energy consumption, and managing waste responsibly within the industry.
