Do you know that 26 years ago Cameroon was the leading cocoa producing nation in the world? Cocoa and cocoa agroforest play a central role in Cameroon’s economic history. Cocoa was first introduced on German-controlled plantations (WWI) in 1886 on the lower slopes of mount Cameroon. Among these plantations, the West Afrkanische Plansung Victoria (WAPV) was at the time recognized as the largest single cocoa producer in the world. Until early 1970s, this trend change and cocoa production has declined over the years due to limitations by black pod fungal diseases, insufficient supply of willing labour, neglect suffered by agricultural sector and low productivity due to difficulties in proper farming and modern agri-practices available. When SUCOFA did it survey since 2006 till date and found some of the problems contributing to the reduction of cocoa production in Cameroon, SUCOFA vision was to become one of the leading farmers affiliated organization in Cameroon. SUCOFA is a group of thoughtful, committed citizens dedicated to raise the cocoa production rate of Cameroon to the national goal of 90% from the current level of 30% in the next five years.

Due to changing climates, environmental damage from slash and burn farming, the over usage of pesticides and many other causes, people who depend on the land (cocoa farmers) for their livelihoods are suffering. SUCOFA recognizes that many farmers and families simply do not understand the causes of their troubles and need help in identifying ways to improve their existing resources.
