Cocoa Research Institute Mandate
At its inception in June 1938, the Tafo Central Cocoa Research Station was assigned clear goals within the Gold Coast Department of Agriculture to investigate the pest and disease problems of cocoa in order to maintain production in the Eastern Region.
In 1944 when the Research Station was up-graded to WACRI, the objectives were widened to include the disease and pest problems of cocoa in West Africa and also to investigate soil fertility and agricultural practices with a view to increasing yield.
Since 1966 CRIG research mandate has been further widened to include coffee, kola, sheanut and more recently cashew.
CRIG also conducts research into the development of by-products of cocoa and the other mandated crops with the aim of diversifying utilization and to generate additional income for farmers.
