Improving the competitiveness of non-illicit crops in Bolivia
In the major coca-producing regions of Bolivia, economic development is stunted and the legal economy struggles to thrive. Chemonics helps develop long-term alternatives to coca that will allow the population in these regions to increase their licit activities and accelerate economic growth. The project focuses on improving the competitiveness of key productive sectors in Bolivia's coca-growing regions, Chapare and Yungas. To increase economic viability, rural producers receive training and technical assistance on how to add value to their products, meet market-based demand, and strengthen relationships with processors and exporters.
