OUR Cocoa PROGRAM

Overview

Strongim Bisnis is supporting diversification in cocoa products for export and domestic markets by promoting and facilitating investment in cocoa value-added processing; and by improving the provision of training on cocoa value-added processing.

Strongim Bisnis is also increasing cocoa yields and quality by facilitating new and expanded commercial nurseries; increased access to improved drying technologies; increased access to cocoa-specific agricultural tools and export/storage materials; and increased provision of agricultural extension services on cocoa production, fermentation and drying.

Our aim is to ensure cocoa prices given to farmers reflect the improved quality of their products and the sophistication of the industry, while women and youth have entrepreneurial opportunities in the industry, such as in commercial nurseries and in product value-adding.

  • Support diversification in cocoa products for export and domestic markets by promoting and facilitating investment in cocoa value-added processing; and by improving the provision of training on cocoa value-added processing.

    Increase cocoa yields and quality by facilitating new and expanded commercial nurseries; increased access to improved drying technologies; increased access to cocoa-specific agricultural tools and export/storage materials; and increased provision of agricultural extension services on cocoa production, fermentation and drying.

  • Three key partnerships have been established with key private businesses in the cocoa sector, C-Corp Ltd, Island Enterprise, and Makira Gold.

    Strongim Bisnis coordinated the 2018 SolChoc Cocoa and Chocolate Festival in partnership with MAL, RDP, PHAMA, ADRA, SICCI, and CEMA.

    A major value-added processing feasibility study is underway, to be finalised early 2019.
