Key Points

  • The Tree Crops Development Authority (TCDA) is implementing a mandatory Tree Crops Conveyance Certificate System (CCS) nationwide.
  • From March 30, 2026, all licensed traders must obtain a certificate to transport regulated tree crops (C-CORMS: cashew, coconut, oil palm, rubber, mango, shea) within Ghana.
  • The CCS aims to enhance traceability, transparency, and accountability across value chains, monitor commodity movement, and curb illegal trading.
  • Certificates will be available at TCDA zonal offices and designated checkpoints, with enforcement by TCDA, Forestry Commission, Ghana Police, Customs, and Immigration.
  • Non-compliance will result in sanctions, and the system is also intended to support domestic value addition and uphold international trade commitments.

Why This Matters

This policy is significant for Ghana as it aims to formalize and regulate the crucial tree crop sector, a major contributor to the agricultural economy. By enhancing traceability and curbing illegal trade, it can boost revenue generation, ensure fair practices, and improve the quality and market access for Ghanaian tree crop exports, aligning with international standards and commitments.
