The purpose of this study was to collect information and analyze the baseline of the producers of the Cacao for Development (C4D) project, funded by the Food for Progress Program (FFPr) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), as a starting point for intervention and impact strategies.
The study focused on the four clusters defined by the project, including 10 departments, with a total sample of 1,083 farms, distributed as follows:
Cluster 1, comprising the departments of Cesar, Magdalena and Guajira with 242 farms;
Cluster 2, with the department of Santander and 198 farms;
Cluster 3, including the departments of Antioquia and Cordoba, with 309 farms; and,
Cluster 4, with the departments of Caldas, Huila and Tolima, with 334 farms.

The main objective of this study was to estimate the reference value of the living income of cacao households benefiting from the USDA Food for Progress Colombia -C4D project, and its difference with the real income, to determine whether the income of these households is sufficient to achieve decent and resilient living standards. Also, from the analysis of the differences found between those households that achieve a decent income and those that do not, to generate strategic recommendations for closing the gaps.
The main objective of this dashboard is to present the progress of the hybrid agricultural extension strategy and a sample of the most relevant data regarding regional trends, success factors and population characterization of the C4D project participants. This dashboard is intended to be a basis for decision making and strategy implementation in the Colombian cacao sector.
