Problem – Security of Supply
Global demand for cocoa is on
average expanding at approximately
2-3% per annum
There is a growing consumer demand
that brands should provide broader
assurance of product quality that also
satisfies health, environmental and
social concerns.
Cocoa production is declining and the
youth are leaving the farming
communities for the cities.
The Cadbury Cocoa Partnership
Need
• Raise the productivity of
cocoa farming.
• Enhance social provision in
cocoa communities to meet
demand for premium
product.
• Attract the youth who are
essential for future
innovation and sustainability
of production.

But
Average cocoa yields in were estimated
at 400 kg per hectare; this needed to be
increased to 1,000 kg per hectare.
The high cost of farm labour coupled
with the high cost of inputs deterred
many farmers from adopting improved
practices and maintaining farms well.
Cocoa farming alone could not sustain
the farmers, unless something was done
to improve yields and farm holdings so
that earnings from cocoa went up.
