description This report provides an update on the state of the art of the cocoa value chain in Ucayali, along with a discussion on its existing business models and their associated challenges and opportunities. This analysis is conducted within the framework of the 13 agroecological principles outlined by the High Level Panel of Experts (HLPE, 2019). Our analysis is based on a review of secondary information, interviews with indirect actors across the value chain in the region, and information provided by representatives of producer organizations in the area, each employing different strategies for their development. The document begins with a brief overview of the different international cocoa market segments, including their characteristics, sizes, and prices, along with the role of Peruvian cocoa in the market. It continues with a brief description of the context in the department of Ucayali and then presents an update on the department's value chain with a description of its direct and indirect actors, categorized into different chain links and levels. Lastly, it analyzes the lessons learned, challenges, and opportunities for the value chain and its existing business models to enhance performance and sustain the agroecological transition.
