1 Technological Innovations to Support Cocoa Sustainability World Cocoa Federation Partnership Meeting 16 th of October 2013
2 Grameen Foundation Mission: To enable the poor, especially the poorest, to create a world without poverty. In practical, measurable terms.
3 CocoaLink Plus A leading example of Shared Value Why Cote d Ivoire? 42% of global cocoa supply K smallholders Broken supply chain: production declining, productivity very low Massive social problems Why Small Farmers? 90% of cocoa in West Africa is grown by 2MM small farmers. Each producer supports 4-5 family members; very poor. Huge potential in yield increases EXPECTED RESULTS Improve productivity and income for K poor farmers over time (pilot stage: 10,500 farmers) Make knowledge and productivity tools available to and adoptable by cocoa farmers: best practices, reliable supply Show that technology and practices magnify the effects of National and Private farmer extension investments Trusted local agency is key: 120 Community Knowledge Workers in pilot: lead farmers equipped with smartphones Layer on future services: mobile financial services to farmers/buyers; Fairtrade Access Fund extension from LAC Cocoa Link Plus Consortium
4 What have we learned? From our young projects that already support nearly 250,000 farmers through ICT and CKW Technology alone is not enough Establish partnerships Build the business case Data increases productivity

17 Experimenting with mobile phones in Ivory Coast: Implications for technology design David Rosenberg Ecom Agroindustrial Corp., Ltd. WCF, Santo Domingo, October 2013
18 Ecom Agroindustrial Corp., Ltd. - Cotton, coffee, cocoa, sugar - 5,000+ employees, 30+ countries - Sustainable Management Services agronomists world-wide - Network with more than 250,000 known farmers - Ivory Coast: GAP training - 15,000 farmers in 20+ cooperatives agronomists 250+ lead farmers ± 75 farmers
19 Observations: what do we have in the field? Hardware Software Agronomist Lead farmer Farmer 2-3 simple phones smart phone laptop 2-3 simple phones feature phone 1-3 simple phones Poor network coverage Extreme conditions (water, humidity, dust, mopeds) Technical education Literate 60% low literacy Ecom farm data Trace Your Cocoa Custom data system on phone Voice, not sms Quality of and ability to act on information Highly independent Remote worker Own initiative Best farmer Entrepreneurial 50% NO school Low trust Ability to use information?? What do they get in return for info?
20 Design implications for digital Teaching / sending: - Field schools highly relevant - Trust requires personal engagement - Low literacy = low impact of words and ability to act on info - Images and voice Data capture - Networks poor - Up-loadable vs. Real-time data - Agronomist data vs. Lead farmer data - Frequent alignment/feedback necessary to ensure quality Hardware: - TOUGH equipment (rapid depreciation) -?? Keyboard?? (data entry challenge) 3
