Greening the Supply Chain in Ghana and Brazil:
can the private sector address deforestation in the cocoa sector?
Marisa CamargoUniversity of Helsinki
Deforestation and commodities
• Agriculture = 80% deforestation• Zero-deforestation supply chain pledges– Soy, palm oil, cattle, cocoa
• Cocoa – Villain: driving DD 14–15m ha last 50 years– Ally: agroforestry systems in the landscapes– Victim: CC impacts on growing regions

Ghana
• 2nd largest producer • Farm size below 4 ha • Direct and indirect employment to 2 million people • Cocoa = 25%/a of total foreign exchange earnings• Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) under Ministry of
Finance, implements government policies and programmes
• Very regulated system to determine logistics and price of cocoa production
Ghana – supply chainMajority is exported
Source: Sutton 2012
• Large number of smallholder • 27 licensed buying companies • Few processors (ADM, Cargill, Barry
Callebaut) and manufacturers (Nestlé) • One exporter (Cocoa Marketing Company)
Challenges
• Farmers average age 50 years• Limited extension services• Productivity is low (355 kg/ha)• Loss of ~34% (diseases)• Cocoa trees are aging• Majority of cocoa is exported • Majority of farmers not organized– Difficult to provide TA and certify
• Most cocoa farmers not bankable
Brazil
• Large global producer, 1970’s no-shade policy• Pest (1980’s) destroyed plantations – areas burned;
producers left idle; no gov/mkt support; rural exodus• Small growers but some large plantations• Challenges: TA, loans, pest, urbanisation, labour costs• >90% production processed and consumed in Brazil • Good cases of successful
restoration of the cocoa landscape, sharing space with other commodities and improve livelihoods – need to scale up!
Cocoa: challenges and solutions• Farmers aging and
scattered in landscape • Low-productivity, lack
of TA, little access to credit, aging trees
• Dependency in one commodity
• Little research on agro-ecology/agroforestry
• Climate change impacts on cocoa growing area
Landscape approach• Work in larger areas with various
stakeholders and activities – education, research (species, agroforestry
(cash and food crops))• Build synergies with other LUs and actors
(Ministries) - Zoning (REDD)• Id and address degradation• Increase resilience• Aggregate several farmers• Promote product diversification• Develop Landscape certification• Empower youth e.g. entrepreneurial skills

Deforestation not the only challenge!
Can the private sector address ‘deforestation’ in supply chains?
Who?
Global JourneyFrom cocoa to chocolate
Who is the private sector?
Benefits and responsibility
• Several private actors benefit from cocoa production….
Farmers 3%
Local taxes and cocoa buyers 5%
Transport, storage, and trade 12%
Grinder/processors 7%
Manufacturing costs 20%
Marketing 10%
Retail/supermarket margins 43%
0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% 45%
• They should also share the costs of producing sustainable commodities
