在多米尼加,大约有八至十万农民生产咖啡和可可,约占全部生产者总数的百分之40。这两个部门还雇用成千上万的农工并为相关经济活动提供就业岗位。大部分咖啡和可可生产者生产规模较小,多数位于环境敏感的流域。最近,这两个部门的生存面临国际商品市场发展趋势带来的挑战。多米尼加的产品产量低、质量不稳定;产量和出口量受周期性飓风的影响而低迷不定。尽管如此,大多数专家仍然认为,多米尼加共和国具有适宜生产高质量咖啡和可可的农业生态环境。要提高竞争力并实现可持续性,必须在咖啡和可可部门进行必要的改革。本研究的目的是简要论述咖啡和可可部门状况,确定主要问题,并提出解决这些问题的可能战略。作者的结论是,如果政府的目标是减轻贫困、环境保护和农村社会的整体福利,那么成功的关键就是超越强调具体商品的方式,采取更广泛的农村发展方式,以目前生产咖啡和可可的农户、地区和环境为重点。
