Abstract

The objective of this paper is to describe the characteristics of the cocoa value chain in Peru. For this, a documental type of study is carried out which describe the performance of the agricultural commodity markets, the commercialization of these, the way the value chain works in the country and an explanation of the national strategy for this product. The result suggests that the context under which the Peruvian cocoa is developing has its benefits given the problems being faced by African producers, the potential in the global market with China´s and India´s inclusion and the support given by the Government to small holders, which should be used during the formation of value chains.
