Introduction
COCOA IN VIETNAM:• New crop (compared with others): Less information, few good cocoa
farmers• Different from others perennial crops that already familiar to farmers:
• Flowers are formed on the trunk and branches vs fruits on the top of new branches• Flowers/fruit setting: All year round vs seasonal • High potassium content in the pod
• Perennial crops:• Establishment phase: # 3 – 4 years• Production phase: 4 – 5 years after planting
• Introduced by NGO/PRIVATE sectors via short term projects: 2 – 4 years

Problems
• Cocoa farmers depended on the project that only lasted a few years. When the project terminated, technology could not be transferred to farmers on time.
• Short term projects: Shortage of knowledge /techniques in production phase for farmers knowledge• Pruning: Botany of cauliflory• Fertilizer: Frequency of application; formula; quantity.• Pests and diseases: On pods
• Quality of Training Facilitators (TF)
• Using cultural managements of other crops to apply on cocoa (a cauliflory):

Survey
• Low cocoa yield
• Cocoa farmers go to familiar/high value crops: Pomelo, durian, black pepper, coffee
• Technique package is available. Problem is to transfer this package to cocoa farmers
• Transfer technology: Not effective
• Farmers: Lacking of confidence in practicing different cultural managements, especially pruning

Prunning PrincipleTo ensure good ventilation and excessive vegetation (water shoots, overlapping leaves). This will improve yield, allow easy harvesting, and reduce pest and disease incidences.
Correctly prunned trees with good ventilation
Over-prunned trees with burnt leaves
