Processing

The overall expected result slated in the Strategic Plan for 2030 is a strategic repositioning of SODECAO, thus contributing to a significant increase in the level of national production, resulting in greater local processing of cocoa, improved yields, while ensuring the sustainability of cocoa farming, improved income for cocoa producers, and an increase in government's revenue and SODECAO's own resources.

Over the next decade, SODECAO plans to make a significant contribution to cocoa production and processing. In order to consolidate its many achievements, it intends to implement new projects under its Strategic Plan and increase its own resources. SODECAO needs to explore, develop and diversify new financing options.    

C’est dans ce contexte que la transformation du cacao  s’impose comme une option incontournable, permettant de générer la valeur ajoutée, la création d’emplois, des revenus pour l’Etat et pour les producteurs de cacao.

The challenge of improving yields and promoting cocoa processing is to transform the vicious circle of poverty in which farmers are trapped into a virtuous circle of prosperity.

Pour une plus-value des actions ainsi présentées, la SODECAO devrait s’investir dans  la transformation de la fève en produits semi-finis (poudre de cacao, beurre etc.)
