The document discusses the transformation and renaissance of the fine cocoa sector in the Caribbean. It notes that the traditional model of small farmers selling raw cocoa beans to centralized government processing facilities is outdated. Recent innovative projects have improved productivity and efficiency by replacing individual labor with trained specialist teams using modern tools. This has increased yields from 0.3 to 1.5 tonnes per hectare and labor efficiency. The fine cocoa sector has opportunities to add greater value locally through processing and branding to attract higher prices given the premium status of Caribbean fine cocoa. There is potential to leverage the region's genebank and develop geographical indications to further differentiate products.
COMUS is a community organization in El Salvador that supports local subsistence farmers. It has partnered with Rainbow of Hope to improve organic coffee production. Rainbow provided funds to expand COMUS' coffee processing plant, allowing more farmers to participate. If further funding is obtained, COMUS aims to produce enough high quality organic coffee to fill a shipping container for export by 2015. This will generate income for farmers and COMUS' social programs while promoting sustainable agriculture. COMUS requests the board's support to further develop the coffee project and pursue matching funds from international donors.

Food Losses and the farmer by Maina Kaguru, We effectSIANI
Presented as part of the Side Event at CFS 41: "Collaboration-Led Waste Reduction: From Producer to Consumer".
In Sweden, Government policy supporting collaborations intended to reduce food waste and production losses has been a great success. In part, due to the specific policy for Global Development (PGD) which supports the creation of platforms for knowledge exchange and multi-sectoral collaboration. This side event will present a number of examples of this policy-led collaboration from the Swedish context relating to the reduction of food waste and production losses throughout the whole food chain, on a global scale.

Cocoa agroforestry: A viable practice for Cocoa landscape rehabilitation in W...World Agroforestry (ICRAF)
The document discusses cocoa agroforestry as a viable practice for rehabilitating cocoa landscapes in West and Central Africa. It outlines the importance of cocoa production to the economies of countries like Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana. However, current monocropping practices have led to environmental, economic, and social challenges including deforestation, low incomes, and pest and disease issues. The document argues that adopting cocoa agroforestry systems which integrate trees and other crops can help mitigate these challenges by improving soil fertility, farmer incomes, and landscape resilience.

benangulo@outlook.com
2. Problem -poverty
• The indigenous village of La Libertad has an
unemployment or underemployment rate of 90%
• Average income per villager is less than $1.90
USD/day, the World Bank’s definition of extreme
poverty
• The villagers suffer from malnutrition, poor
sanitation conditions, contaminated water, poor
health
Local Governmental Solution -giving things
• Small amount of public assistance (welfare) and gifts
• Monthly or bimonthly village visits from health or
social workers
• Healthcare services that are difficult and expensive
for the villagers to access (35 kilometers downriver)
• Village education until 5th grade
3. • To help the villagers to develop sustainable
business to earn the money that they need
to improve their lives
• We will do this primarily through the
production of organic, rainforest-friendly,
indigenously-grown, high-quality chocolate

association, according to strict
quality standards.
3) The association will sell the
cacao for the growers, insuring
fair-trade practices at competitive
prices.

Cacao in the
Colombian
Amazon
6. Underlying Magic –page 1
Why in the Colombian Amazon?
Land
• Over 150 hectares of farmable
land available per village.
• Land owned communally and
worked by individual families.
Water
• No adverse affects of
climate change on water are
predicted for the western
Amazon.
Climate
• Cacao is believed to have
originated in theAmazon
region. The climactic
condition for its growth
are highly favorable.
Agricultural
Workers
• Many experienced
agricultural workers are
available and currently
seeking employment.
Product
Transport
• A large cargo ship passes
La Libertad, bound for
Huston,Texas, every 40
days. It is mostly empty.
7. Underlying Magic –page 2
Increasing Demand
• The world consumption of cacao has
increased by 32% within the last 10
years, especially in dark chocolate.
• Emerging markets (China, India, Brazil)
are expect to further increase this
demand.
Decreasing Supply
• Global climate change is expected to
make many areas of current cacao
production (mainly in Africa) unusable.
• Many of the world’s cacao trees are
reaching the end-stages of their
productivity. New trees must be
planted to avoid severe shortages.
World-wide Shortage
• It is estimated that there will be a 1
million ton shortfall in world cacao
production by the year 2020.
• These shortages will cause dramatic
increase in prices.
Cacao Clones (non-
GMO)
• Clones are now available that may
produce up to 4 times the amount
of cacao (of high-quality) per tree.
• These same clones have natural
resistances to many of the
sicknesses that affect non-clones.
Why now?

9. Competition
Where do we exist in
the larger overall
Market Space?
•We are small growers in
Colombia. The growers
of high-quality cacao in
Colombia are very few.
We have a very desirable,
highly marketable
product.
What are our
Advantages?
•We are to be less-
affected by drought due
to climate change.
•Our plantation is of high-
quality, highly-
productive, disease
resistant cloned cacao
trees.
•Easy transportation of
product on the Amazon
River.
•We are working with the
help of Colombian
governmental agencies,
agricultural institutions,
and other cacao-growing
cooperatives with over
100 years of experience.
How is your place in
the market unique to
you, and the right
one for your
company growth and
customers?
•We can expand our
production of cacao to
grow in other indigenous
communities of the
Amazon. This would
allow us to greatly scale-
up our production and to
attract larger contracts.
Who are the
competitors, why
have they
succeeded, and how
do you truly
differentiate from
them?
•In the eastern Colombian
Amazon we, currently,
have no competitors. In
the western Colombian
Amazon is a farmers co-
operative (with over 2000
small cacao growers) with
whom we are partnered.
10. Marketing and sales
Where are our
customers
looking today
and finding
help?

them?
•Internet
•Direct phone
communication
•Trade shows
•Joining
organizations like

International
Chocolate Awards
in Paris.
How will we
achieve our
target growth
rates?
•Publicity
•Clear channels of
communication
with industry
leaders
•Attendance at
trade shows and
industry events
What are the
most important
and unique
channels and
methods we will
use to find and
