Description

The cocoa sector in West Africa, particularly in C6te d'Ivoire and Guinea, faces significant challenges that threaten its sustainability, climate resilience, and financial viability. The cocoa industry is a primary driver of deforestation, accounting for over 37% of forest loss in C6te d'Ivoire, particularly encroaching on protected forest areas, which has led to disputes over land use. Also, the cocoa value chain is marked by a significant asymmetry in value distribution, with smallholder farmers receiving only 6.6% of the final price of chocolate. The lack of proper infrastructure hampers the efficiency of cocoa production and the ability to connect with markets. In both Cote d'Ivoire and Guinea, the poor state of rural roads and lack of storage facilities significantly impact the quality and marketability of cocoa beans. The initiative with the collaboration of Save the Children will address the root causes of child labor in the supply chain, and enhancing food security.Through this contribution, the Italian Development Cooperation tasks Bioversity International of developing a high impact project in the field of cocoa in West Africa. read more close
