Brief Description:

The overall objective of the project is to implement a major programme of awareness-raising and capacity building in Africa to assist smallholder cocoa farmers in mitigating the negative impact of intra-seasonal cocoa price volatility and securing more predictable and ultimately better incomes from cocoa growing.
The project will broadly identify the specific impacts of cocoa price volatility and the strategies in place to cope with them in other to develop policy recommendations to improve strategies for price risk management. More importantly, the project will assess and select appropriate price risk management strategies and enhance the capacity of cocoa farmers and traders to use them.
