The Global Action on the Green Development of Special Agricultural Products: One Country, One Priority Product (OCOP) is a five-year initiative launched by FAO in 2021, aimed at promoting agricultural products with distinct qualities that have the potential for sustainable development. The program seeks to enhance the value of these unique products at global, regional, and local levels, helping countries leverage their agricultural heritage while promoting environmentally friendly practices.In Latin America and the Caribbean, 14 countries have been selected to participate in the OCOP initiative. Each nation has chosen a specific agricultural product that reflects their unique cultural and environmental context. The goal is to support the green development of these products, ensuring they meet global sustainability standards and can contribute to the socio-economic development of the regions.This document addresses the situation in The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. The OCOP product is cocoa, a crop with profound cultural, economic, and environmental significance. The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is globally renowned for its fine aromatic cocoa, considered one of the best in the world due to its unique flavor profiles and superior quality. Through the OCOP initiative, efforts are being made to strengthen sustainable cocoa production practices, improve post-harvest processes, and enhance market access for Venezuelan producers.
