The Global Action on the Green Development of Special Agricultural Products: One Country, One Priority Product (OCOP) is a five-year initiative launched by the FAO in 2021, aimed at promoting agricultural products with distinct qualities with the potential for sustainable development. The program seeks to enhance the value of these unique products at global, regional, and local levels, helping countries leverage their agricultural heritage while promoting environmentally friendly practices.In Latin America and the Caribbean, 14 countries have been selected to participate in the OCOP initiative. Each nation has chosen a specific agricultural product that reflects its unique cultural and environmental context. The goal is to provide support for the green development of these products, ensuring they meet global sustainability standards and can contribute to the socio-economic development of the regions.This document addresses the situation in Ecuador. The OCOP product is cocoa, a crop of great cultural and economic significance. Ecuador is renowned for its high-quality cocoa, and by focusing on this product, the initiative aims to strengthen sustainable cocoa production practices, increase its global market presence, and improve the livelihoods of local farmers, all while promoting environmental stewardship and climate resilience.
