Cargill can improve the livelihood of the farmers it sources from, by 1) increasing farmer income from cocoa, 2) increasing income from other sources, and 3) strengthening the cooperatives

(2) Professionalize farmers on non-cocoa production to improve the non-cocoa crop selection and productivity.
