Mar 4, 2022 · The map below shows the cocoa growing zones in the cocoa production countries of West Africa with current tree cover.

Feb 14, 2024 · The Cocoa Deforestation Risk Assessment (Cocoa DRA), a map that provides a standardized view of cocoa-driven deforestation risk across the cocoa growing region of these two countries. The Cocoa DRA map layer is available for download on GFW.

This interactive map offers a comprehensive visualization of open-source and manually compiled layers intended to help monitor deforestation potentially related to the cocoa industry across Ghana and Cote D’Ivoire.

Apr 2, 2024 · The Cocoa Deforestation Risk Assessment provides a standardized view of cocoa-driven deforestation risk across Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire, and is now available as a map layer on GFW Pro.

Dec 11, 2023 · This paper describes the methods for two data products aimed at addressing deforestation linked to cocoa production: the West Africa Cocoa Dataset, an aggregate database of cocoa plots mapped by 19 companies, and the Cocoa Deforestation Risk Assessment which estimates future deforestation risk.

Dec 18, 2023 · The Cocoa Deforestation Risk Assessment (Cocoa DRA) is a map layer that identifies the risk of future deforestation events linked to cocoa in Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana. Cocoa and chocolate companies, as well as other stakeholders in this sector can use this map to identify and prioritize interventions in cocoa supply chains.

Sep 20, 2024 · The most recent maps evaluate the future of cocoa production in Ivory Coast and Ghana and predict the decline of cocoa harvests in West Africa, due to increased land use for food crops and changing climatic conditions.

The goal of this study is to map the land cover of Côte d’Ivoire’s West Central Soubre area (5°47′1′′ North, 6°35′38′′ West) between 2014 and 2020.

high-resolution maps of cocoa plantations for both countries. Our cocoa map is the first to be validated in situ, and our model can detect full-sun as well as agroforestry cocoa farms across entire countries with high precision, including generalization beyond the training regions.

Jan 6, 2022 · Exploring risks and opportunities from the interaction between cocoa production, climate change, forest, biodiversity and ecosystem services.
