The Development Landscape for Cacao in Mindanao
But so many good things happening..
• Gradual restoration of peace and order in many conflicted parts of Mindanao
• Development booms around the major cities and urban areas
• Diverse and proven natural resources still exist
• Strategic location for SE Asia with several large ports
• A food and fisheries basket, that grows in size each year
Mindanao 2020: Peace and Development Framework Plan 2011-2030‘Agriculture and agriculture-based industries will continue to be the most prominent driver
of the Mindanao economy well into the future, for inherent reasons. The optimum balance
between large plantation agriculture and smallholder farming needs to be sought, for
reasons of both social inclusiveness and environmental sustainability.’

The market is ready and willing(PT Olam Ltd slide)
The status of cocoa in the Philippines• About 6000 tonnes produced annually, 80%
from Mindanao• Is a smallholder farmer industry• Mostly organic by neglect• Represents about 0.16% of world production• An area of about 12,000 hectares and about
20,000 farmers• Domestic market deficit is about 30,000
tonnes per year of cocoa bean equivalents
Specific opportunities in Mindanao• Large areas of idle coconut lands ready for inter-
planting >1,000,000 hectares• Significant areas of old cocoa plantings for
rehabilitation, can show fast return on investment• Possible certified organic cocoa production based
on the long period of low or no inputs• Large scale nurseries and bud wood garden
operations needed now• The domestic market is vastly undersupplied from
local producers• Cocoa production and export is competitive with
other major crops
