The analysis of the geographical distribution of purchases confirms the centrality of the Centre basin, which accounts for 44.54% of volumes, followed by the South-West and Littoral regions. The persistence of agronomic constraints, such as the loss of seedlings in nurseries highlighted by the Cocoa Development Society or the aging of plantations, underscores the importance of targeted investments in plant material. The support approach led by regulatory bodies provides the necessary diagnosis to guide agronomic research towards resilient varieties and preserve the profitability of farms.

The modernization of farming methods is the priority lever to overcome the decline observed during the last fiscal year. Rising temperatures and irregular rainfall patterns require the widespread adoption of agroforestry best practices and strengthened sanitary protection for trees. By facilitating access to quality inputs for farmers and promoting adapted irrigation, the administration creates the conditions for sustainable productivity, capable of absorbing future weather shocks.

To ensure the growth of the sector and maintain the country's competitiveness on international markets, the public authorities must continue their guiding action. It is necessary to accelerate programs for the rejuvenation of cocoa trees and strengthen the distribution network of young plants across all production areas. The progressive integration of local processing will also enable greater valorization of the harvest on national territory. Through constant implementation discipline and informed technical choices, the State will succeed in perpetuating cocoa wealth in the service of autonomous, dignified, and sustainable development.
