The business organization around cocoa is developing, taking into consideration, the strategy of economic development deployed by the country, its image as the fifth producer of the world and the opportunity for Cameroon to answer the market increasing demand. We have developed in this paper the business organization around cocoa in Cameroon, the implication for people and administration, its potentialities in term of development and the rules to know when entering cocoa business in Cameroon. When we undertook to work on this topic for the master thesis, it was to connect both 'our project of developing cocoa business in Cameroon' and 'the analysis of local cocoa market and its connections to the international market'. Many sources of data have been analyzed including the information collected through the Internet, the Ministry of Agriculture in Cameroon, the Ministry of Trade, the provincial delegation of agriculture of Centre, cocoa buyers’ information such as Telcar, Sic-Cacao and the Cocoa Development Corporation with is the State corporate, developing cocoa seeds and training farmers. After reviewed the literature and meeting with people, we undertook the analysis of cocoa business organization. Interestingly, the results revealed the implication of local government and the effort they are putting together to reach their objective of positioning Cameroon by 2022 as the second producer of cocoa beans with more than 600.000 tons a year. Reaching such objective means develop business opportunities in term of production, increase export capacity to capture more value and develop local pre-transforming units.

'Cocoa' is the umbrella encompassing the varying and often conflicting demands and agendas of cocoa men and women, agencies and authorities. I will analyze the possible causes of the actual crisis of the cocoa economy in Southern Bahia. / Utilizando um ponto vista histórico e usando a análise feita por Jorge Amado nos seus livros e estudos sobre o cacau, analisarei a relação entre a cultura do cacau e a sociedade baiana que criou, segundo a definição de Adonias Filho, a 'civilização do cacau'. 'Cacau' é um conceito que reúne as múltiplas, e muitas vezes conflitantes, demandas e programas dos homens e mulheres, agências e autoridades do cacau. Analisarei as possíveis causas da crise atual da economia do cacau no Sul da Bahia.

Essa cadeia foi escolhida devido a sua grande importância na economia brasileira. Para que essa análise fosse possível, foram identificados os principais riscos desta cadeia, bem como eventos climáticos recentes, suas possíveis influências e as ações mitigadoras adotadas pelos membros da cadeia. Foram feitas 17 entrevistas semiestruturadas com respondentes de todos os elos da cadeia: produtores, atravessadores, moageiras e indústrias de chocolates. Alguns dos resultados da pesquisa apontam que essa cadeia é afetada por riscos relacionados à carência de informação entre os elos, baixa manutenção dos equipamentos e pouca tecnologia na produção, baixa precisão de previsão de safra e, inclusive, problemas na qualidade e produtividade na produção. Mudanças de temperaturas, ventos e umidade também foram considerados como riscos nesta cadeia. Essas alterações climáticas aumentam a incidência dos outros riscos, por exemplo: pragas na produção, necessidade de importação, riscos financeiros e dificuldade logística. A seca de 2016 afetou diretamente a exposição e vulnerabilidade dessa cadeia aos riscos, tendo como consequências diretas a redução da produtividade e da qualidade das amêndoas. Além disso, este evento causou rupturas na cadeia, ocasionando a saída de alguns produtores e indústrias do mercado. Ações mitigadoras têm sido implementadas por associações que auxiliam produtores de cacau, indústrias moageiras e de chocolates e, por grandes produtores. Grande parte dessas ações são referentes a como os produtores podem lidar com as influências das variações climáticas em suas produções. Um dos objetivos dessas ações é que as fazendas possam aumentar a produtividade e qualidade de suas amêndoas, com inclusão de tecnologias para o manejo do cacau e de outras culturas na produção. Como consequência, moageiras e industrias de chocolate também poderão reduzir seus riscos, minimizando a necessidade de importar amêndoas e aumentando a qualidade de seus produtos. / The aim of this study is to analyze how members of the Brazilian cocoa supply chain perceive the influence of climate variations on other supply chain risks. This chain was chosen due to its importance in the Brazilian economy. Conducting this analysis entailed identifying not only the main risks to the Brazilian cocoa supply chain but also recent climatic events and their likely influence; the mitigating strategies adopted by supply chain members were also analyzed. A total of 17 semi-structured interviews were conducted with respondents belonging to all nodes of the chain: producers, middlemen, and the grinding and chocolate industries. Some of the research results indicate that the Brazilian cocoa supply chain is affected by risks related to a lack of information among its members, low equipment maintenance and poor production technology, low precision of crop forecasting, quality problems, and low productivity at production. Temperature variations, winds and humidity were also considered as chain risks. Climate variations increase the incidence of other risks, such as pests in production, import necessity, financial risks and logistical bottlenecks. The 2016 drought directly affected the exposure and vulnerability of this chain to risks, resulting in reduced productivity and quality of cocoa beans. In addition, the drought caused supply chain disruptions, which caused some producers and industries to leave the market. Mitigating actions have been implemented by associations that provide help to cocoa producers, grinding and chocolate factories, and large scale producers. Many of these actions are related to how producers can deal with the influence of climate variations on their crops. One of the goals of these actions targets the fact that farms can increase their cocoa bean productivity and quality by learning about additional technologies for handling cocoa and about new crops that could be incorporated into production. By adopting these strategies, the grinding and chocolate industries could also reduce their risks, minimizing the need to import cocoa beans while increasing the quality of their products.
