Davao de Oro, the Philippines’ top cacao producer, faced challenges like climate change, pests, low productivity, and market inefficiencies. To address these, the Sustainable Farming in Tropical Asian Landscapes (#SFITAL) Project partnered with the Davao de Oro Provincial Government and other local stakeholders to develop the Sustainable Cacao Roadmap for 2025–2030, with a vision for 2050. This roadmap, officially launched in January 2024, aims to empower small-scale cacao farmers, enhance value chains, and promote sustainable practices to secure the future of the industry.
