LOCATION

S a n M a r t i n r e g i o n , P e r u

In the heart of the Andean

Amazon, Peru, at the

sources of Amazon;

In the region of San Martin,

an area with alarming

deforestation rate;

The migratory agriculture,

the traditional swidden

agriculture and the

previous large scale coca

production are the main

responsible of this situation

of widespread

deforestation, causing

substantial emissions of

greenhouse gases.

SPECIF IC CONTEXT

F r o m c o c a t o F a i r t r a d e & O r g a n i c c o c o a p r o d u c t i o n

San Martin region was heavily deforested in the

1980’s as it became a red zone of coca production.

With the help of USAID, the farmers switched from

coca to cocoa cultivation in the 1990’s.

Organic and Fair Trade certification came as

additional added values to production and are

guarantees of higher prices, bonuses and long term

partnerships with buyers.

The objective now is to secure the initial

transition by developing complementary activities

(environmental, social, etc.) that encourage

farmers to invest sustainably on their lands.

OBJECTIVES / BENEFITS

B e s t - c l a s s a g r o f o r e s t r y s y s t e m s f o r c o c o a

INCREASE AND

DIVERSIFY

FARMERS

REVENUES

Trees planted will increase farmers benefits and diversify their income, hence reducing the risk to

cut down cocoa farms for a switch to other products

SECURE

PRODUCTIVITY

Timber trees planted bring biomass and natural fertilizers for production of cocoa. The optimal shading is

close to 40% cover. Main effects of shade are the protection of fields from prolonged droughts and heavy

rains.

The Agroforestry model can be 50 to 100 % more productive than full-sun cocoa. The yields are also

more steady, even during dry seasons.

IMPROVE QUALITY

The very best hybrids among major species of fine cocoa (Forastero, Nacional, Trinitario) require the

presence of local timber species to reach their full potential.

This results in higher complexity of aromas of cocoa beans, a well balanced acidity that ensures a

premium cocoa quality.

SECURE LONG-

TERM PRODUCT

AVAILABILITY

Most of the areas adapted to cocoa production are threatened by global warming and changing climate

conditions

Conventional cocoa cultivation is labor intense, and no economically attractive for farmers. It make them

likely to switch to other crops

Agroforestry and forest cover ensure maintenance of good climatic conditions for production, and

interesting socio-economic conditions for farmers

MODEL 2

INTERCROPPING

Farmers could choose between the 3 models below to plant the trees.

Model 3 was most often chosen by farmers as there are many unproductive or degraded lands in the

project area, due to ancient coca production and slush and burn practices.

Only a couple parcels were planted in model 2, which one is better adapted to new plantations of

cocoa trees (most of the cocoa fields are mature in the project area with an already existing canopy).

11



S p e c i e s a n d c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s

In all models, plantation of a combination of several species (of various growth speeds) to :

Prevent spread of pests and diseases

Spread the revenues over time : fruit trees (short term), timber (mid and long term depending on species)

Help recreate natural biodiversity (plantation of native trees only)

Note: Teak has been accepted in the project as an exotic but non invasive species, because of its good adaptability to the

area and high timber value. Its percentage was limited though to less than 15% of all trees planted.

MAINTENANCE OF PLANTED PARCELS

A n n u a l i n d i v i d u a l v i s i t s o f a l l p a r c e l s p l a n t e d

Annual individual visits of all parcels planted by

ACOPAGRO’s technical staff to:

- collect farmers’ feedback

- give them technical assistance: tree

management, pruning, thinning, disease

management, etc.

- monitor the parcels: tree growth, mortality rate

and causes, additional revenues, satisfaction,

yields, leakage risk (ie the farmer deforests

another area to replant cocoa because he

converted its agricultural land into forest land),

etc.

14


MAINTENANCE OF PLANTED PARCELS

I n d i v i d u a l v i s i t s t o f a r m e r s

Among the parcels visited in 2014:

- 86% were considered well-managed (ie with trees

receiving the appropriate maintenance)

- 14% require stronger farmer’s commitment and control

for good trees growth

15


MAINTENANCE OF PLANTED PARCELS P r u n i n g a n d t h i n n i n g

Regular pruning is necessary to obtain straight and defectless

trunks providing high value timber.

Thinning should take place after a couple years to remove

weaker or odd-shaped trees and let the healthier ones grow into

higher value trunks.

A contract was signed in 2011 between

ACOPAGRO and the Titling department of the

Regional Government to get land titling for all

ACOPAGRO farmers.

508 ACOPAGRO farmers received land titles

(i.e. 28% of the 1800 ACOPAGRO farmers, when

60% already owned land titles).

Another 842 farmers are undergoing land titling

process (field data collection completed; only office

work missing), to be completed in 2015.

ACOPAGRO’s tree nursery (set up in 2012 to produce high

quality seedlings for the project) will now reduce its activities until

post-harvest plantations which are planned in 2018.

28


PROMOTION C o n t e s t t o p r e s e r v e h i g h v a l u e t r e e s p e c i e s i n f o r e s t s

Surrounding forests are extremely rich in biodiversity. In order to

preserve rare endemic tree species, ACOPAGRO launched a

contest in which farmers have to find the “seed for the future”.

The idea is to encourage farmers to plant these specific tree

species in their parcels, in particular during post-harvest

plantations.

29


PROMOTION E n g a g i n g t h e w h o l e r e g i o n i n a n e w d y n a m i c s

The area was dedicated to coca production for cocaine

smuggling, and is now a best practice for:

• Organic & Fair Trade production and

export:(ACOPAGRO) became Peru's first cocoa

exporter;

• Forest carbon projects: double certification,

achieving best-in-class results with regards to

carbon certification standards;

• The promotion of its natural and cultural

heritage: the project supports Martin Sagrado

REDD+ project ‘s activities and the registration of

an area of 2 million hectares as a Biosphere

Reserve at UNESCO world heritage (on going

process).

MONITORING OF PLANTATIONS P l a n t i n g r e g i s t r y

Registration of parcels and plantations is done

through individual field visits before and after

plantations, and goes through:

Farmers and parcel data recollection

GPS mapping of all planted areas

Counting of dead trees after planting (twice in

a year)

Monitoring of plantations is done through

annual individual field visits : tree growth,

mortality rate and causes, additional revenues,

satisfaction, yields, leakage risk.

OBJECTIVES

Assess the quantity of biomass in planted

trees and equivalent carbon stocks.

PROTOCOL

Identification of 22 stratae in the project

area: stratification based on the planting

wave (from 1 to 11) and the planting

model.

Size of the sample plots: 100 meters in

line for model 1 (trees planted in line),

500m2 in circle for model 3 (pure stand).

139 plots & 5,014 trees measured:

measurement of the total & commercial

height, the diameter at breast height

(1,30m) and distances between trees.

Note: Model 2 was barely used by the

farmers and therefore not integrated to the

biomass inventory.

CLIMATIC IMPACTS


RESULTS

Results of the biomass inventory are

shown per model and planting wave in the

graphics on the right and in detail in the

following table.

The total carbon stored in trees since

the beginning of the project (2008) has

been evaluated at 54 301 T CO2 eq.

On the parcels planted in 2008, an

average of 290 T CO2 eq / ha has

already been stored in planted trees.

Tree growth of trees is rapid(and so is

the growth of biomass stocks): in 3

months, we noted a 22% average increase

of biomass stocks in 4 months in selected

inventory plots.

NOTE: Parcels of waves 10 and 11 were not inventoried because plantations were too recent. 37

AGROECOLOGICAL IMPACTS

R e d u c t i o n o f s o i l e r o s i o n a n d w a t e r r u n o f f

INSTALLATION REALIZED IN 3 PILOT PLOTS - BARE GROUND (LEFT),

REFORESTED LAND (RIGHT) AND OLD GROWTH FOREST

RESEARCH PARTNERS

ENSAT - Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Agronomie de

Toulouse

UNAS - Universidad Nacional Agraria de la Selva

OBJECTIVES

Measurement of the quantities of soil lost per year

(Kg/ha/year) and per volume of water run-off (kg/l)

Complementary measurement of soil quality indicators:

soil texture, organic matter content, biodiversity…

PROTOCOL

Pilot experimentation in 3 plots with an average of 47%

slope:

PLOT 1 : bare land without vegetation (control plot)

PLOT 2: reforested land (1111 trees / ha)

PLOT 3: old growth forest

39

PROGRESS

First experimentation in PLOT 1 and PLOT 2

Next steps are to validate the monitoring protocol and

collect additional data to highlight significant trends

RESEARCH PARTNER

Universidad Nacional De San Martín – Tarapoto

OBJECTIVES

Evaluation of the impacts of conservation activities on water

quantity and quality

Measurement of the Water Quality Index including : toxic

micro-organisms, PH, DBO, nitrates, phosphates,

temperature, turbidity, heavy metals and total dissolved

solids.

PROTOCOL

Pilot experimentation in Dos de Mayo – impacts on Alto

Huayabamba river:

Literature review and background research

Collection and analysis of water samples (100ml of surface

water ) from upstream tributaries of Alto Huayabamba river

and Alto Huayabamba river itself

PROGRESS

First samplings under analysis.

Next step will be to expand the protocol to the scale of the

river basin.

FIRST RESULTS

Project’s participants (“Socios”) are more

knowledgeable about the relationship between

reforestation and ecosystem ‘s preservation than

non participants (non-socios.).

Project’s benefits mentioned by socios include:

great technical support, improved sense of union,

feeling of empowerment, better organization,

shared vision and well-managed funds.

Training should focus on climate issues (limited

understanding in the studied communities).

It is too early to highlight the project’s impact in

terms of additional revenues (to come with timber

sales).

NEXT STEPS

Collection of additional data in other

communities in 2015 to obtain a larger sample and

more comprehensive dataset and thus allow for

the application of more advanced statistical

techniques.
