Sierra Leone - Boosting Productivity and Competitiveness in the Cocoa Value Chain : World Bank Policy Brief
Overview & Synopsis
Before the civil war, cocoa was Sierra Leone’s leading export, and it remains one of the country’s main foreign exchange earners outside the mining sector. Sierra Leone’s average yield of 430 kg/ha compares quite favorably with those of major exporters. Yield growth is hindered by diseases, and there is emerging evidence of vulnerability of trees to climate change. Productivity is further negatively impacted by the advanced age and poor condition of most trees.
