1. Presentation
With the destabilization of the economy of Bahia’s cocoa region, caused mainly
by the fall in the cocoa price and exacerbated by the spread of witches' broom, disease
introduced in the state in the 1980s, the cocoa plantations from Bahia declined. The
loss of productivity caused by the disease, associated with low product price in the
international market, contributed to the marked difficulties faced by farmers. During
this period large areas planted with cacao trees were abandoned or used for other
agricultural activities.
In the past decades, most producers who have continued business in cocoa,
lacking resources for investment, implemented little or no technology, transforming
their crops in areas poorly managed and of low productivity. The decrease in
productivity affected all segments of the supply chain of cocoa. However, considering
that cocoa production is an activity involving intensive labor, the rural workers, who no
longer found work in the field, migrated to the cities in the region, increasing poverty
and social problems in these cities.
Additionally, much of the cocoa plantations presents low population densities
(less than 600 plants / hectares) and varieties susceptible to witches' broom. As a
consequence of the lack of implementation of disease control and technologies,
productivity is low and often no more than 400 kg / ha. Despite the efforts of the
Executive Plan of Cocoa Farming (Ceplac) to meet economically viable technological
solutions to control the disease, the current situation is still uncertain. However, the
technological solutions that could enable productivities above 1500 kg / ha are not
applied as they were considered "expensive" and by lack of financial resources for its
implementation.
However, there is a discussion of the use of technologies of low environmental
impact, soil conservation and water resources management, enhancement of plant
and animal diversity would be an alternative for enabling cultivation of cocoa under
the current conditions. However, the adoption of agro ecological management of
plantations of cocoa trees needs skilled people familiarized with the complexity of the
interactions of that agro system. This requirement is complemented with urgent
financial resources intakes study, adaptation and generation of technologies of low
impact and low cost. On the other hand, crops in bustling topography environments
often require intensive use of labour and little mechanization. Thus, the low
mechanization and the lack of labour makes the management of culture, which largely
shaded by trees is also of the Atlantic forest. However, this system, also known as
cocoa cabruca, hardly sustain economically in the medium term, unless public policy
establishing forms that guarantee management and production covering remuneration
for environmental services that farmers, which keeps these areas, rightly deserve.
The expansion of the agricultural frontier in Brazil has been a reality, especially
with fruit and grain. The cultivation of cacao, for climate issues (regular rainfall), has
been limited to the Amazon region and the regions south of Bahia and North of
Espírito Santo. However, there are experiences with successful fertirrigation in
Chapada Diamantina, in the South of Bahia (Tabuleiros Costeiros) and Northern
Espirito Santo where the high cacao achieves productivity in areas considered escapes
for major diseases. The cocoa expansion to non-traditional areas can generate
increased foreign exchange into the country, either by decrease in importation, either
by increasing production, and will enable the Brazil return to the role of cocoa
exporter. In addition, it is a form of social inclusion of poor communities to generate
employment and income.
In the context of technological innovation for the cocoa, the III Brazilian
Congress of Cocoa proposes discussing widely improving cocoa production chain, the
production of cocoa on the aegis of productive conservation and production of cacao
in non-traditional areas of cultivation. It is also proposed to discuss strategies,
technical, financial and institutional policies to support the commercial cultivation of
cacao, through a series of technical goals, economic and political, that should guide the
future of cocoa growing plantation.
2. Goals
Establish itself as a forum for presentation and discussion of:
a) Technologies developed and available for the modernization of the productive
chain of cocoa;
b) identification the hardships and challenges needed to cacao cultivation;
c) Institutional strategies, governmental, private and political to meet the
challenges for the transformations required to cacao growing;
d) exchange of knowledge and experiences among the different stakeholders of
the cocoa agribusiness ;
e) Drafting of a guiding document for public policies concerning the Brazilian cacao
cultivation.
3. Justification
The last time it was held an event of this magnitude for discussion of the main
problems of cacao cultivation was the II Brazilian Congress of Cocoa in 1999. So, after
13 years, is needed to gather all stakeholders of the supply chain of cocoa to update
knowledge and propose new challenges for cacao cultivation. The meeting of
researchers, farmers, educators, students, representatives of the government,
legislators, private agents and mainly cacao farmers in a broad discussion forum favors
the exchange of knowledge and closer relations amongst all participants.
4. Organization
The organization of the III Brazilian Congress of Cocoa will be held by an
Organizing Committee consisting of professionals from the Centre for Cocoa Research
(CEPEC), leading research unit of the Executive Plan of Cocoa Farming (Ceplac), the
State University of Santa Cruz (UESC) and Mars Center for Cocoa Science (MCCS).

5. Participants’ profile
The meeting is technical and scientific gathering in which professionals in the field of
biological sciences, agricultural, forestry and environmental, public and private opinion makers
public and private, as well as legislators will participate. These participants are gathered
together in a forum for discussions, assessments and planning studies, public policy and
technical programs conducted by researchers, teachers, students, farmers, government officials
from Brazil and other countries, emphasizing actions for the success of the Brazilian cocoa
cultivation. Are expected between 800 and 1000 participants.
6. Structure
The III Brazilian Congress of Cocoa will be developed on the basis of the following
structure:
Presentation on the first day of themes with interventions focusing the technologies
developed and available for improving cocoa production chain. To do so, will be guest speakers
with expertise in tropical agriculture and/or cultivation of cacao in the various regions of the
country and the world that has adopted technological innovations impact to productivity and the
quality of cocoa.
On the second day will be introduced to participants subjects for reflection with
conferences and lectures focused on identification of difficulties and challenges needed for a
"New Cocoa". To do so, there will be guest speakers with expertise in tropical agriculture
and/or cultivation of cacao in the various regions of the country that has been working to
identify solutions and/or for the modernisation of the bottleneck of the cocoa.
On the third day the focus is for submission of institutional strategies, governmental,
private and political to overcome the challenges that exist in the cocoa production chain. To do
so, there will be guest speakers with expertise in cocoa agribusiness, entrepreneurs, planning
and Agriculture Ministries, Secretaries of State, politicians, representatives of banking
institutions and other agents involved in Brazil’s cocoa agribusiness.
Each day a synthetic overview of the lectures and panels will be presented. Every day,
this summary will be presented by an integrator previously assigned.
Activities will be scheduled emphasizing sociocultural aspects of the arts (music, dance,
paintings, crafts, cuisine, natural resources / ecotourism) in the Brazilian states where cocoa is
cultivated, with emphasis on Bahia.
