A unit under the department of Agriculture in 1945, had the responsibility of controlling CSSVD, Cocoa Pests and create cocoa stations. Within these stations, seeds will be multiplied, seedlings raised and farmers educated on the correct method of cocoa cultivation.
The Cocoa Division was renamed Cocoa Production Division with responsibility for Cocoa Swollen Shoot Virus Disease (CSSVD) control, Extension Services, and Seed Production.
The Cocoa Production Division became the Cocoa Services Division (CSD), continuing its key functions in cocoa disease control, seed production, and farmer extension support.
The Cocoa Services Division was dissolved, leading to the creation of the Seed Production Unit (SPU). The SPU was responsible for the multiplication and distribution of planting materials for cocoa and coffee.
The Seed Production Unit was upgraded to a Division and renamed Seed Production Division (SPD), reflecting its expanded technical operations and strategic role in planting material production.
SPD has ever since expanded its operations to cover 10 administrative regions,the Division operates 39 stations spaning the transitional belt to the coastal belt..
