To employ spatial multi-criteria approach indecision making

To identify area that has potential forintensification while avoiding deforestation

To identify area that has potential for impact oncocoa household income

To identify priority areas by national policy and

cocoa industry partners investment To identify suitable cocoa growing communities

for intervention projects

Goals of the GIS component

Cocoa Land suitability

Climatic and soil

This suggeststhat Cocoacultivation canexpand into more

states thanwhere it iscurrently beinggrown

Cocoa Socio economic environment

Cocoa production

is high inOndo,Ogun,Osun & CrossRiver and low inOyo, Taraba andAdamawa states

Food farm sizeindicates

potential for foodsecurity in cocoaproducing areasimplying moreresources to
