GHS 23.9 million which was written off in its books.<\/p>\n<p>This comes on the back of the 2020 Auditor-General\u2019s report which indicated that the fertilisers were written off from the books of COCOBOD by the Board of Directors in 2018 without parliamentary approval.<\/p>\n<p>However, COCOBOD, in a statement, said management is working with the Board of Directors for onward submission to Parliament for retrospective approval of the write-off through the Ministry of Food and Agriculture.<\/p>\n<p>Explaining circumstances that led to the expiration, the statement noted it was detected after the incumbent administration assumed office in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>This was after an audit was conducted into significant volumes which were in stock when procurement and distribution of fertilisers and agrochemicals are done and usually applied annually.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt, therefore, caused an audit to be conducted on the items which revealed that some fertilisers and agro-chemicals valued at Ghc23,957, 520.65 had expired,\u201d part of the statement read.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inline-related-post\" class=\"mag-box mini-posts-box content-only\">\n<div class=\"container-wrapper\">\n<div
