INTRODUCTION TO THE CSF
Cocoa production in Vanuatu commenced in the 1800s and export of cocoa products begun around the 1900s through the first traders of Vanuatu.
Today more than twenty-five percent of Vanuatu’s rural population depend on cocoa as a source of income. Cocoa is a crop that provides employment in some communities.
The Cocoa Sustainable Development Fund objective is to support the growth of the Vanuatu Cocoa Industry.
The fund will focus on support strategy aligned with the Vanuatu Government National Cocoa Strategy and the Pacific Horticultural and Agricultural Market Access Program (PHARMA PLUS).
The key drivers for the Vanuatu Cocoa sector growth are improved and consistent quality and quantity of cocoa crops, resulting in higher prices with established buyers and access to new markets reliant on quality.
Access to finance for export is also an identified key growth driver. The Cocoa Sustainable Development Fund will include investment in these identified key market areas, to support the growth of the industry and drive jobs and revenue growth. With rising global demand, international cocoa prices are forecast to increase over the long term, underpinning the improvement objectives of the sector and the focus of the Cocoa Sustainable Development Fund.
