Cocoa cultivation in Roraima has expanded dramatically, increasing nearly eightfold since 2019 to reach 1,300 hectares. This growth, primarily in the southern part of the state, is largely driven by the 'Projeto Cacau Amazônia' initiative. The project supports rural producers by providing seeds, technical assistance, and training, transforming cocoa into a significant income source. Family farms, like that of Vilmara Ramos da Costa, are increasingly involved, though challenges remain in managing larger-scale production with limited labor. Currently, over 700 producers are part of Roraima's cocoa production chain. The crop has shown good adaptation to the local soil and climate, encouraging further investment. Despite accessibility issues for training in remote areas, efforts are underway to strengthen the sector and promote chocolate production and derivatives.
The significant expansion of cocoa farming in Roraima showcases successful agricultural development initiatives and the potential for economic diversification in the Amazon region.
