Forest Conservation through Sustainable Supply Chains

Technical cooperation project that seeks to conserve forests by expanding deforestation-free agricultural and aquaculture supply chains in the provinces of Manabí and Esmeraldas (Ecuador). It improves national conditions for these supply chains, introduces long-term financing as an incentive for deforestation-free production, establishes agreements with provincial governments and local authorities to reduce deforestation and restore forest landscapes, and facilitates market access in chains such as cocoa, timber, cattle, shrimp and pitahaya.
