Lead agriculture

value addition

High potential for poverty reduction

Important source of

agricultural income

Cocoa provides livelihoods for some 2 million rural

households in West Africa (14 million people)

In Ghana, household surveys indicate that poverty among cocoa-producing

households dropped to 23.9 % in 2005, down from 60.1 % at the

beginning of the 1990s

Cocoa accounts for 38 % of agricultural value added in Côte d’Ivoire and 12 % in

Ghana

Page 24: Proud of Our Members - World Cocoa Foundation · West Africa global leader in Cocoa Production •Farmers across West and Central Africa’s cocoa belt account for 73% of global production

Loss of land devoted to cocoa production

Rubber

• Much higher returns per day worked

Cocoa

• Lower returns to labor

Principal drivers: Increasing competition over land and

labor from other sectors (e.g. gold mining in Ghana)

Competition from more profitable crops (rubber, oil palm)

Poor livelihood conditions leading to abandoning of farms in search of off-farm employment

Over the past 10 years, rubber has offered returns up to 5 times as high per day worked compared to cocoa - plus revenues which are spread evenly over the entire year

Even at the high cocoa prices of recent times, rubber remains more profitable

Rubber and oil palm companies are providing support through out-grower schemes

Page 25: Proud of Our Members - World Cocoa Foundation · West Africa global leader in Cocoa Production •Farmers across West and Central Africa’s cocoa belt account for 73% of global production

Climate change

Need to adapt crop management technologies to evolving conditions

Gradual shift to higher altitudes with further deforestation likely to occur

Expected temperature rises caused by climate change will leave many cocoa growing areas unproductive

Cote d’Ivoire: The Agriculture Sector Support Project aims to improve smallholder access to technologies and markets, and enhance governance of the cocoa value chain

Components

Improving farmers access to markets

Support to sustainable cocoa productivity

Capacity building and institutional enhancement

Some expected results

• 13,000 cocoa farmers trained on good agricultural practices

• replanting with improved planting material about 20,000 ha of cocoa farms of 25 years or older

• designing a market-based funding mechanism to ensure adequate access by farmers to critical inputs, such as fertilizers

• 130 socio-economic sub-projects initiated by cocoa cooperatives to improve their operational capacities and to facilitate access to basic social services

• 960 km of rural roads rehabilitated

• enhancing the control of cocoa diseases, by designing and implementing a cocoa disease early warning system and a Pest Management Plan

• implementation of the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) platform and its M&E system

Ghana: Strategic Planning Exercise with COCOBOD funded under PPP arrangement, as input into the Ghana Cocoa Sector Development Strategy II (CSDSA II):

Scoping Mission (2014):

• Performed diagnostic of the cocoa sector (“X-Ray”)

• Identified 5 priority issues and possible areas for investments and policy interventions: Establish modern accounting and Management

Information Systems (MIS) Streamline logistics and quality control Reform input supply and support services Promote cocoa agroforestry systems Improve coordination of programs and projects in

the cocoa sector

Scenario Planning Workshops (2014-2015):

• Find long-term solutions to existing and expected challenges in the cocoa industry

• Fashion a strategic vision for the sector, including the need for closer collaboration among the public and private sectors

Ghana: Forest Investment Program (FIP), REDD+ Emission Reductions Program (ER-P)

FIP ($ 30 million WB, $ 8 million IFC) provides:

close to $2 million in funding for COCOBOD for activities related to provision of seedlings, inputs, and extension.

funding to address key policy issues related to land and tree tenure and landscape approaches to land-use planning.

TAKE HOME MESSAGES…..

Conserve the natural resources

Concrete and effective public and industry

initiatives to promote sustainable cocoa

production

Improve cocoa farmers’ economic and social conditions: decent

living

Page 39: Proud of Our Members - World Cocoa Foundation · West Africa global leader in Cocoa Production •Farmers across West and Central Africa’s cocoa belt account for 73% of global production

Looming challenge in supply v. growing demand ?

Need for a different approach to production:

Public-Private Partnership, Sustainability and Innovation

Demand for cocoa is growing:

With an estimated 2% annual growth, the world may face a “cocoa deficit” of 1 million tons by 2020.
