Cacao program activities

MOCCA will support the market system actors in Central America and Peru by collaborating and building the capacity of others to train farmers, facilitating commercial relationships with shared value-minded buyers, strengthening suppliers of genetic material for planting, expanding research and the dissemination of research results, facilitating access to finance, and helping institutions to develop or expand services that assist farmers in successfully renovating and rehabilitating their farms.
