Looks at the Le Fonds de Développement des filières Cacao et Café (FODECC) producer window as a sector mechanism that joins geolocation, bundled producer services, and levy-backed support to make due-diligence compliance workable for cocoa and coffee smallholders.
What makes FODECC compelling is its systemic integration: it’s not simply a charitable fund but a structured sector-wide mechanism that helps smallholders comply with increasing market and regulatory demands. This strengthens both environmental and social sustainability by improving the traceability of production and investing in producer capacity. However, its long-term success depends on stable levy revenues, trust and uptake among farmers, and robust verification systems to ensure compliance and impact.
