Résumé

This Law creates the National Policy to Encourage the Production of Quality Cocoa. This National Policy has the objective of raising the quality standard of Brazilian cocoa by stimulating the production, industrialization and commercialization of the product in a higher category. This Law classifies high quality cocoa because of its physical, chemical and sense characteristics, according to the analysis and certification processes recognized by the Public Authorities. Guidelines of the National Policy are as follows: environmental and socio-economic sustainability of production and producers; technological development of cocoa farming; use of the cultural, environmental, soil and climate diversity of the country for the production of high quality cocoa; adequacy of the governmental action to the regional peculiarities and diversities; articulation and collaboration between federal, state and municipal public entities and the private sector; stimulating local economies and reducing regional inequalities; and valorisation of Brazilian cocoa and the access to markets that demand higher quality product.
