Abstract

In recent decades, cocoa has gained more attention in the world market allowing it to become one of the most lucrative and traded food products in the world. This has led to interesting, continued increases in cocoa production around the world (Afoakwa, 2010). The largest cocoa trading centers are in Europe due to their industrial clusters where traders, mills and manufacturers are well connected and work in synchronization (CBI, 2018). In the 2018-2019 closing report, it was indicated that 89% of industrial crops correspond to sugarcane, which shows the little contribution of cocoa within industrial crops. Panama currently has 2,050 producers that produce 175 tons equivalent to 3,771 quintals of cocoa. It is important to note that a large percentage of cocoa beans are exported (MIDA, 2020). This article aims to characterize the Panamanian cocoa supply chain to identify how it is composed, which is one of the objectives developed in the doctoral thesis "Sustainability Model of the Supply Chain". Therefore, interviews with cocoa experts and 112 surveys of producers were carried out. Achieving the characterization diagram of the supply chain in which it was evidenced that it is made up of three links: (1) Planting, Harvest and Postharvest, (2) Collection (3) Transformation.
