This report assesses farm-level potential for adoption of cacao innovations in Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Cameroon, and Guinea as part of the Six-Step Approach for scaling low-emission, high-impact food-system innovations. Step 3 identifies adoption drivers and constraints, forming the basis for next steps. Understanding these determinants is essential for designing feasible and context specific scaling pathways for cacao innovations in West Africa.
