Synopsis (short abstract) Preliminary assessments of the cocoa value chain from using FAO's EX-ACT Value Chain tool show that it has a significant potential to improve farmer incomes while mitigating climate change. With a renovation and rehabilitation strategy of implementing cocoa shadow agroforestry in low-yielding old plantation areas, the mitigation impact of the value chain reaches approximately 146 million tCO2e in the next 20 years. This translates to a carbon footprint of – 5.6 tCO2e for every tonne of cocoa produced. Additionally, the gross income per farmer increases by almost 38 percent - up to USD 10.46 per working day by 2028. Most of the value-added coming from the upgraded scenario stems can be attributed to the producer – more than USD 1 billion in an aggregate value added of over USD 1.6 billion by 2028. Moreover, the cocoa value chain will create an additional 277 669 jobs, and increase the climate resiliency of almost 1.85 million hectares of landscape in Ghana.

    Cocoa value chain analysis in Haiti
    EX-ACT value chain case study

    This report is a case study of a multi-impact appraisal of a cacao value chain in Haiti. The value chain is analysed from production to the distribution of rice to retailers, comparing the performance of an upgrading scenario to a baseline scenario. In the present case, cocoa is grown in the traditional form with low levels of agroforestry application. With the project, new agroforestry cocoa plantations are developed on degraded land and in existing plantations, agricultural practices are improved to increase yield and producers are trained in existing plantations to effectively utilize fermentation practices. The implementation of the project will lead to mitigation of 552 tCO2-e per year, creating an emission sink of 0.8 tCO2-e per hectare per year for the entire project area.

    Évaluation préliminaire de l'impact- La réhabilitation de la chaîne de valeur cacao au Ghana: 2018–2028 2021
    Also available in:
    Les évaluations préliminaires de la chaîne de valeur du cacao à l'aide de l'outil de chaîne de valeur EX-ACT de la FAO montrent qu'elle a un potentiel important pour améliorer les revenus des agriculteurs tout en atténuant le changement climatique. Avec une stratégie de rénovation et de réhabilitation de mise en œuvre de l'agroforesterie de l'ombre du cacao dans les anciennes plantations à faible rendement, l'impact d'atténuation de la chaîne de valeur atteint environ 146 millions de tCO2e au cours des 20 prochaines années. Cela se traduit par une empreinte carbone de - 5,6 tCO2e pour chaque tonne de cacao produite. En outre, le revenu brut par agriculteur augmente de près de 38 pour cent - jusqu'à 10,46 USD par jour ouvrable d'ici 2028. La plus grande partie de la valeur ajoutée provenant du scénario amélioré peut être attribuée au producteur - plus de 1 milliard USD en valeur globale de plus de 1,6 milliard USD d'ici 2028. En outre, la chaîne de valeur du cacao créera 277 669 emplois supplémentaires et augmentera la résilience climatique de près de 1,85 million d'hectares de paysage au Ghana.

    This qualitative study was developed under the Empowering women and boosting livelihoods through agricultural trade: Leveraging the AfCFTA programme, co-implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Trade Centre (ITC). It seeks to assess gender dynamics along the fisheries and aquaculture value chains in Ghana and Nigeria, focusing particularly on women’s roles, barriers and trade potential. This report also provides gender-specific recommendations to address the identified challenges and enhance women’s trade potential in the selected regional value chain in Ghana and Nigeria.
