Strengthening Resilience and Sustainability in the Cocoa Value Chain in Honduras: Training, Innovation and Certification

Website Cacao producers in Honduras face difficult environmental and market conditions, impacting their regional and international competitiveness, threatening the livelihoods of farming families in northern and western Honduras, and increasing the likelihood that young people will migrate in search of opportunities outside of agriculture.

The IAF supports community-led solutions to expand economic opportunity for rural families and young people.

Our grantee the Federacin Nacional de Productores de Cacao de Honduras (FENAPROCACAHO) improves the welfare of its cacao producers and communities in the departments of Cortes, Atlntida, Santa Barbara, Yoro, and Colon, by strengthening the resilience and competitiveness of the cacao value chain through sustainable agricultural management practices, training and inclusion of young leaders, and technical support for organic and fair trade certification.

This grant is part of the IAF's efforts to address the root causes of irregular migration in Central America.
