Le cacaoyer est la culture dominante. Neanmoins les forets disparaissent rapidement, non seulement dans le sud-ouest du Ghana, mais dans tout le pays pour alimenter les scieries. Les fondements de la cacaoculture et de l’industrie du bois dans un contexte juridique ambigu sont en cause. Face aux difficultes des planteurs, mais surtout de l’Etat et des scieries a gerer le bien commun que constituent les forets et leurs ressources en bois, que pesent les preoccupations environnementales ? Dans ce contexte, un projet d’agroforesterie communautaire Oda-Kotoamso (Ocap), lance par la compagnie forestiere Samartex a ete initie. L’objectif du projet est de developper, par l’agroforesterie, des alternatives a la culture itinerante sur brulis, d’augmenter le revenu des planteurs et en meme temps de creer une filiere d’approvisionnement pour la scierie. En soutien au projet Ocap, cette etude, realisee dans le cadre d’une collaboration entre la Samartex et le Cirad, a pour objectif de proposer des modeles agroforestiers susceptibles de reduire la deforestation et la pauvrete.

The second objective is to analyze the determinants of pesticide adoption and test the hypothesis that pesticide adoption widely depends on a high commodity price and revenue and on the dynamism of migrants who own orchards that are still relatively young. The hypothesis assumes not only a free market for the commodity but also a favorable period in the world price cycle. If the orchard is above a certain age, then difficulties are aggravated because farmers must face simultaneously the aging process and loss of forest rent. Then if farmers encounter a depressed world market for their commodity, production and revenue may enter an unavoidable recession spiral. This is probably true everywhere, but is more of a problem in uplands than in the lowlands. Is not pest control especially costly in farms planted on steep slopes? Can a pest such a...

About 70% of global supply originates from West-Africa, where cocoa is produced by smallholder farmers (<5ha). Their yields are low (10-30% of potential) and highly variable with limited use of external nutrient inputs. Over the past decades, cocoa supply relied largely on the expansion of the crop into ‘fresh’ forest. Consequently, cocoa has been a key driver of deforestation. With less than 15% of the original cover in West Africa remaining, the cocoa industry is increasingly concerned about its future supply, particularly now that recent studies revealed that climate change further threatens the current production zones. Climate-smart intensification is required to ensure both smallholder livelihoods and the industry’s need. Over the past decades, many of the cocoa actors have promoted full-sun intensified systems. Whereas these systems are often perceived to have the highes...

The cocoa sector faces a number of challenges such as low productivity and smallholder farmer incomes, poor working conditions, complex labour issues and environmental challenges such as deforestation and climate change. The Sustainable Trade Initiative (IDH) aims to accelerate and up-scale sustainable trade by building impact-oriented coalitions of multinationals, civil society organisations, governments and other stakeholders through co-funding and convening public and private interests, strengths and knowledge. The IDH Cocoa Productivity and Quality Programme (CPQP) is a four-year programme that aims to mainstream the results of the previous Cocoa Improvement Programme (CIP1). It seeks to assist smallholder cocoa farmers to move out of poverty and make a transition to running viable businesses for sustainable cocoa production. The programme promotes four tools to do this: good agricultural practices (GAPs)...
