Tetteh Quarshie introduces cocoa to the Gold Coast

Colonial officials questioned whether Quarshie was the first to introduce cocoa, with claims favoring Governor Griffith.

During the administration of Sir Gordon Guggisberg, the credit for introducing cocoa was disputed. Judge Griffith claimed his father, the Governor, deserved the credit, but Guggisberg's inquiries supported Quarshie.
