Earlier Report Observations

The cocoa waste market in Venezuela began the period at 4 707 t in 2018, a year when the cocoa sector faced military controls on transportation and government interference in commercialization, potentially affecting production. Market volume then increased to 5 609 t in 2019 before falling to 4 660 t in 2020.

After recovering to 5 260 t in 2021, a significant policy change in July 2022 drove growth: the government exempted taxes and fees on cocoa exports, stimulating commercialization and pushing the waste market volume to 5 391 t that year. The inauguration of the National Center for Cocoa Research, Development and Innovation further supported organic production efforts.

In 2023, despite legislative advances like the draft Cocoa Law and a global cocoa supply deficit that raised prices internationally, Venezuela's cocoa waste market volume declined to 4 978 t. Sources indicated that investment shortages and organizational constraints continued to limit the sector's expansion.
