The UPCOCOA project aims at creating professional and sustainable cocoa businesses. This involves tackling problems on areas like marketing, institutional capacities, quality management, productivity, social issues and integrated pest management.The project will (initially) work with eight cooperatives, comprising of about 1600 farmers.
