Through these projects, a productive transformation has been achieved in the cacao supply chain in the Amazon. The implementation of sustainable agricultural practices and the establishment of agroforestry systems have been promoted, aiming to enhance the efficiency of production systems and reduce pressure on forests. In addition, by strengthening producer organizations, the quality and traceability of cacao have been improved.<\/p>\n<p>Private sector involvement has also been crucial. International companies, such as Lavazza and Silva Cacao, and national companies, like Paccari, are supporting deforestation-free production by marketing high-quality products, paying differentiated prices, and enhancing the capacity of producer organizations.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_center=&#8221;true&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div

Contribution (NDC) and the REDD+ Action Plan 2016-2025, the Ecuadorian government implements programs such as PROAmazon\u00eda and Payment for REDD+ Results with the aim of creating an enabling environment to consolidate sustainable, deforestation-free agriculture.<\/p>\n<p>These programs are under the leadership of the Ministries of Environment, Water, and Ecological Transition, and Agriculture and Livestock, with UNDP as the implementing agency. Through these projects, a productive transformation has been achieved in the cacao supply chain in the Amazon. The implementation of sustainable agricultural practices and the establishment of agroforestry systems have been promoted, aiming to enhance the efficiency of production systems and reduce pressure on forests. In addition, by strengthening producer organizations, the quality and traceability of cacao have been improved.<\/p>\n<p>Private sector involvement has also been crucial. International companies, such as Lavazza and Silva Cacao, and national companies, like Paccari, are supporting deforestation-free production by marketing high-quality products, paying differentiated prices, and enhancing the capacity of producer organizations.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"gallery-style-2\">\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin:
