This was followed by a tripartite meeting in Accra in 1960 between Ghana, Brazil and Nigeria under the chairmanship of Mr. K.A Gbedemah, the then Finance Minister of Ghana. The charter, formally establishing Cocoa Producers Alliance was adopted in 1962 in Abidjan, with Ghana, Brazil, Nigeria, Cameroon and Ivory Coast. Ghana remains a key member of the Alliance up to date. The Ghana Cocoa Marketing Company (UK) represents Ghana at COPAL meetings that are held in London.
