The GDA Peru Cocoa Alliance´s Experience 2012/2017: Contributing to the Sustainability of USAID Alternative Development Investment based on market solutions and the expansion of the private sector in the Peruvian Amazon
Visit of Kim Breadhauer to Peru | Peru Cacao Alliance Meeting Room Surco, September 11, 2017
Main Alternative Development (AD) Areas
The Problem and the Challenge • USAID: US $ 600 MM in 20 years. • 100,000 small farmers have left illegal coca activities. • Cacao: the most successful vehicle for that change. • Perú: 120,000 ha of cacao; 60,000 ha are related to USAID investment. • To be sustainable, the cacao value chain in AD area needs to develop a competitive business model based on competitive advantages, improving private investment and expanding market solutions.

However, 50% of the cacao producers are poor and 20% extremely poor…why? wrong business model
• The dominant business model is based on the commodity market. • 85% of the peruvian cacao production is going to the commodity market.
The cacao dominant business model makes us very sensitive to changes in prices‌the most affected: the small producers
PerĂş is price-taker in the cocoa commodity market: 110,000 ton/year vs Africa 3.0 MM tons/year
Is it possible to differentiate? The market for differentiated cocoa by quality, certifications or genetic (fine flavor cocoa) , exceeds one million tons ...

Differentiation: better and more stable prices
Laying the basis for differentiation: planting 25,000 ha of fine flavor cocoa, PCA I (2012/16)
Peru Cocoa Alliance I Goals: 2012-2016
• Installation of 28,000 ha of cocoa • Graft 23,000 ha of fine flavor cocoa • Georeference 23,000 ha of fine flavor cocoa • Install 16,700 ha of fine flavor cocoa under the agroforestry system • Incorporate 16,000 small-scale producers on fine flavor cocoa business plans

Forecast : Alliance Fine Flavor sustainable and traceable cocoa production estimates from 2016 to 2020
Four Key Issues based on the PCA I Experience 1. Choosing competitve fine flavor varieties and the “clonal� arrangements technology. 2. Generating fine flavor cocoa planting material for more 23,000 ha. 3. Risk to promote deforestation: the Alliance Agroforestry Model. 4. Reducing transaction costs: georeferenciation and traceability.
1. Trinitario hybrid cocoa selected by the Peru Cocoa Alliance for its arrangements.
The Alliance has selected seven trinitario clones that comply with the fine flavor characteristics: 1. ICS1 2. ICS6 3. ICS39 4. ICS95 5. TSH565 6. UF 667 7. IMC 67

1. The clonal arragement technology for fine flavor cocoa expansion
• Agroforestry systems using fine flavor cocoa "clonal arrangements" . • A "clonal arrangement" is a combination of different cocoa hybrids with a high level of sexual intercompatibility, which ensures more flowering and therefore more productivity.

1. Trinitario hybrid cocoa arrangements of the Peru Cocoa Alliance A total of six different arrangements have been created, ensuring high sexual compatibility and, therefore, high yields:
ARRANGEMENT 1: (33% ICS95 / 33% ICS 39/ 17% ICS1/ 17% TSH 565) ARRANGEMENT 2: (50% ICS39 /25% ICS 95/ 25% IMC67) ARRANGEMENT 3: (37.5% ICS39 / 25% ICS 95/ 25% TSH 565 /12.5% ICS1) ARRANGEMENT 4: (50% ICS39/25% ICS95/ 12.5% IMC67/ 12.5% ICS6) ARRANGEMENT 5: (46% ICS95/ 27% IMC67/ 27% ICS1) ARRANGEMENT 6: (60% ICS 95/ 35% ICS39/ 5% ICS6)
2. The challenge to produce and to deliver planting material • 25,000 ha grafted = 10.5 MM sticks. • San Martin: 1 MM trees of fine flavor but highly disperse. • Juanjuí: PCA planting material production center, 80,000 fine flavor cocoa trees identified. • Juanjuí-Curimaná: 780 km, logistic challenge. • Supply and demand coordination.

3. Risk to promote deforestation : the Alliance Agroforestry System(AFS) We have 3.9 million of deforested hectareas in San Martin, Huanuco and Ucayali
The Peru Cacao Alliance Agroforestry System
CO2 Capture Estimates for the Peru Cacao Alliance Agroforestry System(AFS) • The installation of 28,000 ha of cocoa under AFS will generate 5.1 million tons of CO2, and will capture 62.9 t of CO2. • The Alliance 28,000 ha will capture 57.8 million net tons of CO2 throughout the commercial life of cocoa (25 years). • This means it will capture 82.5 tons of CO2 per hectare per year.
4. Reducing transaction costs: fine flavor cocoa with georeferentiation and traceability • The PCA Monitoring System: more than 17,000 small producers and 27,825 ha included. We conduct two surveys a year to audit the results.
• Georeference fine flavor cocoa for commercial purposes: the “birth certificate” of traceability.
PCA I Fine Flavor Cocoa Business Model for Small Producers: Five Principles I.
Market concept: differentiation; “market driven” approach = >direct contact with chocolate makers.
II.
“Biodiversity as competitive advantage”: 7 varietal species of fine flavor cocoa in PCA model.
III. “High yields model”: combine “sexual intercomptibility” among varietal species of fine flavor cocoa to reach high yields. IV. “Climate change resilient model”:restoring the landscape incorporating timber species as a source of long term income and CO2 secuestration. V.
Small farmer associativity, georeference, traceability and private partnership: to reduce transactions costs and to take advantage from the “private know how”.
PCA II: Adding Value to Fine Flavor Cocoa Assets and Improving Income for Small Farmers (2016/17)
Perú Cacao Alliance II, 2016-2021 • Objective: 30% increase in the family income of 20,000 households in San Martín, Huánuco and Ucayali.
• How? : generating more value from the plot ... through: I. Increase Productivity II. Increase quality (post harvest) III. Access high-value differentiated markets IV. Facilitate access to financing and promote private investment

Results II and III: Increase the quality of the products of the plot and access to differentiated markets
Quality Management Program and development of flavor technology in cocoa
Quality Management Program: objectives General: Improve the quality of the Peruvian cocoa bean produced by producer organizations and private companies, allowing us to achieve differentiation of our cocoa and thus access high value markets. Specific: • Develop technical skills for the elaboration of flavor profiles. • Improve the administrative management of centralized post harvest modules.
Quality Management Program: Goals • 30 post harvest modules are managed efficiently and under traceability systems • 90 Technicians and promoters trained for the development of quality and management of modules of benefit centralized in the scope of the Alliance. • 20 organizations implement programs for the development of sensory cacao profiles.
Management of tasting records online, with several tasters or in a network, in order to strengthen capacities and traceability
Result IV: Facilitate access to financing and promote private investment
Program of credit promoters with Agrobanco associated to the Schools of Excellence in Productivity
Program of credit promoters: characteristics • The demand for credit is closely associated with the presence of technical assistance. • The idea is that the Schools of Excellence stimulate the demand for credit and Agrobanco fit with its offer. • Three (3) credit promoters per region. • Goal: – Reach 10,000 producers – US $ 10 MM in placements

“
Why are several private sector companies committed to the Perú Cacao Alliance? Because we firmly believe that the success of different business actors in the value chain of cocoa and chocolate is only possible if the small producer achieves to be economically, socially and environmentally sustainable. Making the producer sustainable allows everyone involved in this value chain - exporters, chocolatiers, technology providers and financing providers - to grow in our business, attract more investment and thereby generate more employment and more development.
José San Martín, General Manager - Exportadora ROMEX President of the Private Sector partners from the Peru Cacao Alliance March, 2017
