LARGE-SCALE MECHANIZED COCOA CULTIVATION

Pioneering sustainable cocoa production in the Dominican Republic through advanced mechanization and strategic partnerships.

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

MECHANIZED COCOA CULTIVATION IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

To meet the increasing global demand for certified cocoa, a prominent cocoa producer targeted the Dominican Republic for potential expansion. The region's advantages include its position as the largest organic cocoa producer, ample availability of large land plots, excellent soil quality, and robust infrastructure. Additionally, the absence of the two most severe cocoa diseases in Latin America makes it an ideal location for sustainable cocoa cultivation.

OUR EXPERTISE AND CONTRIBUTIONS

FORLIANCE played a pivotal role by conducting an in-depth feasibility study. Our services encompassed detailed site assessments, climate and soil analysis, and identification of suitable land plots. We collaborated with local cooperatives and NGOs, developing a strategic plan to establish core operations with post-harvest facilities. This plan also includes potential expansion through smallholder integration, ensuring a sustainable and scalable model.

Our extensive experience provided critical insights and practical strategies to align the project with sustainable practices and international standards, underscoring our commitment to enhancing the profitability and sustainability of cocoa production.
