Question

Can you think of ways that would help farming communities make cocoa farming more

successful? What would farmers need for support? Write down at least 2 ideas.

Answer 1

1. Access to training and resources: Many cocoa farmers in developing countries lack the knowledge, tools, and resources necessary to grow cocoa efficiently and sustainably. Providing access to training programs, agricultural extension services, and resources such as fertilizer, high-quality seeds, and irrigation systems can help farmers improve their yields and produce better quality cocoa.

2. Fair prices and market access: Many cocoa farmers in developing countries receive very low prices for their cocoa, which makes it difficult for them to earn a decent living and invest in their farms. Providing farmers with access to fair prices, markets, and buyers can help them earn more for their cocoa and improve their economic well-being. This can be achieved through fair trade certification, direct trade relationships, or other market access programs.
