    The Vanuatu Organic Cocoa Growers Association (VOCGA): A Case Study of Agriculture for Growth in the Pacific 2009

    Over the last 5 years Vanuatu has enjoyed strong economic growth. The excellent overall growth performance has not been matched by commodity exports. If growth is to be more broadly based and sustainable it needs to contain a much larger small holder agricultural component. This study looks at organic cocoa to see how more broadly based and sustainable growth might be achieved through the development of commodity niche markets. Vanuatu and Samoa have the oldest cocoa industries in the South Pa cific. Over the last decade, Vanuatu‟s production has oscillated around 1,000 to 1,200 tonnes. Cocoa exports, as with copra and coconut oil, have shown a downward trend. In 2008, Vanuatu exported 1,058 tonnes of cocoa, for a fob value of 240 million vatu. This represented 6% of Vanuatu‟s total export earnings, lying behind coconut products, beef and kava.
