Tetteh Quarshie sounds familiar to you. Who? This is the name of the man who planted the first cocoa beans in Ghana. The seeds soon germinated and the country's industry became one of the first exporting countries. If you decide to visit the area, you should not miss the Quarshie farm, where they will teach you everything related to its production. You should also pay a visit to the Tafo Cocoa Research Institute near Koforidua.
