| dc.description | This factsheet provides an overview of cocoa (Theobroma cacao) as the nominated special agricultural product (SAP) for Samoa under the One Country One Priority Product (OCOP) program. The factsheet covers Samoa's country context, the agroclimatic requirements for growing the Trinitario cocoa variety, and the nutritional benefits of cocoa. It highlights current production statistics, various cocoa processing steps like fermentation, drying, roasting, and grinding to make products. While some cocoa is exported, a significant portion is consumed domestically as Koko Samoa. The factsheet identifies opportunities for investment and partnerships under OCOP to improve sustainable production, branding, value-added processing facilities, and domestic consumption of Samoan cocoa products. | |
