Glover is a graduate of the University of Zurich, Switzerland, and an expert in International Relations, International Law, and Political Philosophy. He denied himself and his family the comfort and frills of Europe and spent over 14 years in rural Ghana training farmers to produce organic cocoa for export.
He initiated the production of organic cocoa in Ghana in 2007 making his company a pioneer of organic cocoa in Ghana and he remains passionate about improving the lives of organic cocoa farmers and their families.
After receiving the award, the CEO told journalists that his company has set the benchmark for organic cocoa of Ghana origin and pride itself as the producer of organic cocoa in niche markets adding that he would work hard to lead the organic cocoa sector.
“Our company thrives on producing good quality organic cocoa to the specification and standards set by the European Union (EU) and other regulatory bodies. We serve the high segment of the cocoa value chain and this has earned us the coveted award,” he stated. He urged stakeholders in the cocoa industry to support his organic cocoa project because it is eco-friendly, impact lives, and promotes sustainable agriculture.
Mr. Glover said that having gained recognition, he was glad that his efforts over the years to redefine agriculture, create jobs and promote the production of sustainable organic cocoa were not in vain.
