Ghana 07/8 cocoa crop seen around 620,000T

Ghana's 2007/08 cocoa crop will likely total around 620,000 tonnes, the deputy head of the Cocobod regulator said on Monday in what he said was a cautious estimate, trimmed by problems with black pod disease.
"We are looking at around 600,000 tonnes for the (2007/08) main crop and then mid crop 20,000 tonnes. This year, the mid crop has been bad, so we are making a conservative forecast," deputy chief executive Charles Ntim told Reuters.
