ENGAGING COCOA CHAIN
VALUE ACTORS TO MEET 2020
CHALLENGE

FAST FACTS AND TRENDS
• Mars has committed to sourcing 100
percent of its cocoa from sustainable
sources by 2020. Currently, its Galaxy
chocolate bars bear the green frog seal; in
2012, Mars Bars in the UK and DOVE
Brand Silky Smooth Dark Chocolate in the
US will both bear the seal.

FAST FACTS AND TRENDS
• Kraft Foods commit to use only
Rainforest Alliance Certified™ cocoa
beans across its entire Côte d'Or and
Marabou lines,
• equal to some 30,000 ton of beans by
end of 2012

FAST FACTS AND TRENDS
Crop overview: Cocoa as of October 31, 2012
* SAN Monthly Certification Report

FAST FACTS AND TRENDS
• rapidly growing "green" or environmental
market that help curb climate change and
mitigate its impacts .
• International market demands certification
ensuring products meet the minimum
standards
• Clearly, we have to compete with other
countries to have an international market.

What do we want to protect?
10
• High demand of certified products
• Protect health of farmers family and workers
• Conserve the environment, reduce degradation and protects water soil and wildlife
• Institute farm comprehensive management system which minimizes Production costs and improves net income
• There is added value for the certified products (premiums)

ECOSYSTEM CONSERVATION
• can flourish under the
shade of the forest canopy,
where it supports
biodiversity
• providing habitat for
threatened plant and animal
species, protecting natural
pollinators and cocoa-pest
predators, and creating
biological corridors.

• This enhancement of
biodiversity in the
agricultural landscape
occurs primarily on a
local scale—providing
homes and food for
more generalized forest
species that are
intolerant of pastures or
farm fields
ECOSYSTEM CONSERVATION
14
ECOSYSTEM CONSERVATION
• Area with indigenous trees
• Area with endangered animals or plants
• Stream , river , spring
• Swamp or wetland
• National park or conservation area designated
by the government
If you have any of the following types of area on your
farm, these important ecosystem must be protected
These areas need to be protected because they usually support a rich biodiversity of important species
15
ECOSYSTEM CONSERVATION
• In order to protect these areas, it should be
prohibited to extract firewood from the area, to
hunt wild animals, to cultivate crops or spray
chemicals
• This needs to be communicated clearly to all the
workers and family members
No cutting, no hunting, no farming
16
ECOSYSTEM CONSERVATION
• At the border of the farm
• Around water sources
• On the steep slopes
• Note :No foreign species.
Indigenous trees are best
adapted to local climate
and soil conditions, and
can host rich biodiversity
Planting of indigenous trees
17
ECOSYSTEM CONSERVATION
• It is recommended to create a buffer zone
between the conservation area and a farm
to ensure that the drift of chemicals and
agricultural activities would not affect the
conservation area.
Creating buffer zones
18
ECOSYSTEM CONSERVATION
• For animals and birds to move from one
place to the other, they need forest to be
connected.
• To connect the ecosystems, you can plant
trees of the borders of the farm to connect
patches of forest or conserve the existing
forest conditions.
Connecting ecosystems

• According to the Greeks, chocolate –
or theobroma – is literally the “food of the
gods.”
• chocolate contains tryptophan — a
chemical that the brain uses to produce
serotonin, which can generate feelings of
ecstasy or love. Chocolate is also rich in
antioxidants
