Mr Eric Asamoah, Leader of the taskforce told the Ghana News Agency at Elubo that the first consignment of 130 bags was impounded on March 4 at Ghananegua near Elubo while the second consignment of 26 cocoa bags was seized at the bank of the Tano river at Cocoa Town on March 12.
Mr Asamoah said the cocoa beans had been handed over to the Ghana Cocoa Marketing Limited in Takoradi.
This brings to 237 bags intercepted by the taskforce since the beginning of the year.
