Cocoa

Côte d'Ivoire

Estimated production of cocoa based on national production data, cocoa areas, and cocoa suitability. Cocoa areas are from (Kalischek et al., 2023), based on satellite observations from 2019 to 2021.

This metric represents the estimated volume of cocoa production per department in Côte d'Ivoire in tonnes (t) per year. Department level cocoa production was calculated based on national production statistics, derived from the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO, 2023) and allocated to the individual departments weighted based on the cocoa area (see above) and relative cocoa suitability (Schroth et al., 2016) of plantations (Kalischek et al., 2023). Note, only the total cocoa production from ICCO varied between 2019 to 2022, while cocoa area and suitability were assumed stable for the whole period.

Côte d’Ivoire - Production of cocoa

Percentage of cocoa that is traded by traders with a zero deforestation commitment.

Zero-deforestation commitments (ZDCs) were obtained from Global Canopy's research determining whether an exporting company group has a commitment or goal for zero deforestation in its cocoa supply chain in the year of cocoa export. A commitment is accepted as zero deforestation if an exporter group explicitly uses the phrases 'zero deforestation', 'zero conversion' in its sustainability goals, current policies, or if they have a policy (or target) for 100% certification where the certification is equivalent to a zero-deforestation standard. \nCommitments are reported as 'company commitment' (if the specific company has a ZDC), 'none' (if the company does not have one), or 'unknown' (if the company's ZDC position was not checked).
