Colombia: Cacao for Peace Update 2018 to 2020 - Harvest Time

On January 15, 2016, USDA and USAID executed a participating agency program agreement (PAPA) titled Cacao for Peace. The objective of the project is to improve the cacao value chain in Colombia by strengthening key agricultural institutions in the public and private sectors. From July 2018 to December 2020, many of CfP’s activities produced positive outcomes for the Colombian cacao sector. The initiative’s agricultural extension efforts quadrupled producer yields. CfP sponsored educational and research opportunities for five Colombian professionals with master’s degrees pursuing PhDs. CfP’s cooperative research launched a Geographical Information System (GIS) web application to optimize cacao production in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta region. The program’s institutional technical assistance area produced an analytical study of the cacao supply chain, receiving over 137,000 views. Until December 2020, CfP has leveraged $1.9 million from various partners to complement its mission.
