Cocoa farmers’ agricultural practices and livelihoods in Côte d’Ivoire

Alle Tags anzeigen

Cocoa production in Côte d’Ivoire has more than doubled over the last four decades, from 565 thousand tons in 1984 to approximatively 1.5 million tons in recent years. This increase has been mainly due to the expansion of cocoa areas promoted by the government since the 1970s. Today, it is estimated that more than 5 million people depend upon 700,000 cocoa growers for their livelihoods. Besides, between 2002 and 2008, cocoa was one of the few sectors whose growth proved to be ‘pro-poor’. However, cocoa farmers and their households remain very poor. This report provides rough estimate of a per capita daily cocoa income of 568 CFA Franc, which is under the national poverty line...The major challenge for improving both cocoa production and the economic viability of cocoa farming is to improve yields without endangering the environment...This report first describes surveys carried out between 2013 and 2015, and then provides the main descriptive statistics related to objectives targeted in Barry Callebaut programs, the Cocoa Horizons Foundation, and more generally shared by the cocoa industry through the CocoaAction initiative: Improving livelihoods through an increase in productivity, and an improved well-being within communities.
