The Produce Monitoring Board (PMB) proudly congratulates its Executive Chairman, Mr. Raymond Bob Katta, and Director of Operations and Programs, Mr. Didan Sankoh, on their respective appointments to leadership positions within the Cocoa and Coffee Farmers Alliance Association of Africa (COCEFAAA).
Mr. Raymond Bob Katta has been appointed a Member of the COCEFAAA Board and Strategic Partnership Council, while Mr. Didan Sankoh has been appointed Country Director of COCEFAAA Sierra Leone.
These distinguished appointments reflect the confidence placed in their leadership and commitment to advancing the interests of cocoa and coffee farmers. They also present a significant opportunity to strengthen Sierra Leone’s position within Africa’s cocoa and coffee industry, expand strategic partnerships, attract investment, and promote sustainable agricultural development.
Under the visionary leadership of Mr. Raymond Bob Katta, PMB continues to pursue a strategic vision focused on strengthening institutional capacity, enhancing the competitiveness of Sierra Leone’s produce sector, and unlocking greater opportunities for farmers and agricultural value-chain actors. His appointment to COCEFAAA’s Board and Strategic Partnership Council further extends the platform for advancing Sierra Leone’s cocoa and coffee interests at the continental level.
For Sierra Leone, these appointments carry particular significance. They provide an opportunity to elevate the country’s cocoa and coffee sectors on the African stage, amplify the voices of local farmers, strengthen market linkages, encourage value addition, and foster greater collaboration, knowledge exchange, and investment across the continent.
As Sierra Leone advances its agricultural transformation and economic diversification agenda, effective representation within continental agricultural institutions can help create new pathways for growth. Through these roles, Mr. Katta and Mr. Sankoh have an opportunity to champion the interests of Sierra Leonean farmers, strengthen the competitiveness of locally produced cocoa and coffee, promote sustainable farming practices, and contribute to improved livelihoods in farming communities.
PMB recognises that visionary leadership, strategic partnerships, and effective institutional collaboration are essential to unlocking the full potential of Sierra Leone’s agricultural sector. These appointments reinforce the importance of connecting national priorities with continental opportunities to deliver tangible benefits for the country and its farming communities.
This is a proud moment for PMB and a significant opportunity for Sierra Leone’s cocoa and coffee sectors. PMB celebrates Mr. Katta and Mr. Sankoh on these well-deserved appointments and wishes them every success as they advance the interests of farmers, strengthen strategic partnerships, and help create new opportunities for national agricultural development.
Congratulations to both leaders! May their appointments translate into stronger partnerships, greater opportunities for Sierra Leonean farmers, and lasting progress for the nation’s cocoa and coffee industries.
