What is the primary export quality grade assigned to Ghanaian cocoa beans on international commodities exchanges?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Grade I
- Step 1: Ghana's cocoa beans undergo traditional six-day wooden sweat-box fermentation and sun drying. Step 2. This meticulous processing gives Ghanaian beans the global benchmark for rich, unadulterated cocoa butter flavour. Answer: Grade I. Why not the others: Sub-standard and unfermented cocoa sell at deep market discounts; Ghanaian cocoa consistently commands a premium price.
