Technical Support
Soil Mapping
Determine soil health and produce soil maps
Soils are not only thirsty but also hungry
(effects of micronutrients)
Organize farmers and service providers to
minimize transaction costs (this will abate
inefficiencies in prices nationwide)
Efficient nutrient management is critical in cacao
farming to produce 2 t/ha from 590 kg/ha
Grinding/Processing
Since this basically home-based, provision of
village type grinding facility
Manufacturing
Manufacturing is a billion peso industry
Production system must improve and provide
support to entire value chain to benefit farmers
Niche markets for artisan chocolates
Traders/Manufacturers:
Exporters:
12 Exporters based in Davao
Farmers organization is very important so that they themselves
can process the beans, serve as integrators or consolidators at
the same time to directly deal with multinationals
Integrators & exporters are the two major parties oiling the
market chain because they provide pre-financing or working
capital to farmers and even act as facilitators to loans.
This can be resolved under the Framework!
