Ghana Approves Humi[K] WSP for Cocoa Farms — What This Means for Our Farmers

Big news from Accra! The Ghana Cocoa Board has officially approved Humi[K] WSP® Organic Fertilizer for use on cocoa farms — and the results are nothing short of transformational.

After two years of rigorous field trials by the Cocoa Research Institute of Ghana (CRIG), Humi[K] WSP has proven to double cocoa yields, improve bean quality, and restore soil health — all without harmful side effects.

What Is Humi[K] WSP?

Humi[K] WSP is a high-potassium organic fertilizer made in the USA and now officially endorsed for cocoa farming in Ghana. It contains:
•     14% Potassium (K₂O)
•     1% Nitrogen
•     1% Calcium
•     Trace minerals like Magnesium, Copper, Zinc, Iron, and Boron

This formula is designed to feed the soil, not just the crop — making it perfect for regenerative agriculture.

What Did the Trials Show?

CRIG tested Humi[K] WSP across cocoa farms in Eastern, Ashanti, and Western Regions. Here’s what they found:

✅ Humi[K] WSP outperformed all other treatments
✅ No leaf scorching or damage at recommended rates
✅ Safe, effective, and eco-friendly

🌱 How Should Farmers Use It?

Rate: 375 ml in 11 liters of water
Timing: Monthly from May to October
Method: Motorized sprayer with nozzle #3
Coverage: 3.75 liters per hectare per month
This protocol is now part of AgroGreen’s Climate-Smart Village Programme (CSV-P) — helping farmers transition to sustainable, high-yield cocoa farming.

Why This Matters

Higher income for farmers
Healthier soils and crops
Carbon credit readiness
Alignment with AU Agenda 2063 and Tinubu’s Food Security Roadmap
Humi[K] WSP isn’t just a fertilizer — it’s a tool for transformation.

Boosting Economic Prospects

The economic implications of this approval are significant. By increasing the productivity of cocoa farms, Ghana can strengthen its position in the global market. Cocoa remains one of the country’s major exports, and enhancing its production capabilities will support economic growth and stability.

Moreover, by reducing dependency on chemical fertilizers, farmers can lower production costs while producing high-quality cocoa beans that meet international standards. This transition not only benefits individual farmers but also strengthens Ghana's reputation as a reliable and sustainable cocoa producer.

Environmental Benefits

Beyond economic advantages, the use of Humi[K] WSP also aligns with environmental sustainability goals. By improving soil health naturally, this product reduces the necessity for synthetic fertilizers, which often have adverse environmental effects. Promoting organic farming practices helps preserve biodiversity and maintain ecological balance.

Conclusion: A Promising Future for Cocoa Farming

The approval of Humi[K] WSP marks a pivotal moment for Ghanaian agriculture, particularly in the cocoa sector. Farmers are now equipped with an effective tool to enhance productivity while adhering to sustainable practices. This development not only promises increased income for farmers but also positions Ghana as a leader in sustainable cocoa production on the global stage.

As the agricultural community embraces this change, the future looks promising for Ghana's cocoa industry. With the right support and continued innovation, cocoa farmers can look forward to a thriving sector that benefits both the economy and the environment.
