Cocoa farming is of great economic, social and environmental value in Haiti. As an export crop, it is a source of foreign currency for the country and accounts for 60% of cocoa farmers' annual agricultural income (BID, 2005). Cocoa-based agroforestry systems are widespread in the Grand 'Anse region, particularly in Dame-Marie. Cocoa farming is of vital importance in terms of water, soil and environmental conservation. The crop is grown in traditional plots alongside food crops (yam, banana, manioc, taro), tree crops (mango, real tree, avocado) and forest crops (cedar, mombin, ash, mahogany, sucrin).Dame-Marie is best known for its high-quality cocoa. Alongside the producers, a number of other players are involved in the sector, either in support, marketing and/or processing. However, the strategic importance of this sector for the commune does not prevent it from facing problems: phytosanitary problems; problems of exchange and marketing; problems of yield, plot management and coordination between the various players in the sector.
