 Samoa is a stunning archipelago of islands, known as the Cradle of Polynesia. Samoa's landscape ranges from mountains formed by volcanic eruptions to tropical rainforests and turquoise waters hosting coral reefs. Located near the equator, the climate here is ideal for cultivating cocoa, known as Coco Samoa. We're here at the bottom of the island. We're trying different things. We're also trying different things like making cocoa. We're trying different things like making cocoa, or cocoa Samoa, or the taste, or the flavor. We're trying different things like making cocoa, Samoa is a member of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organizations Initiative, called One Country, One Priority Product, or OCOP. OCOP promotes special agricultural products with unique qualities, while contributing to sustainable food systems, leading to improved nutrition, better production, a clean environment, and a better life for farmers. OCOP is the FAO's corporate flagship initiative, launched by FAO Director General Dr. Chiu Dong-il last year. The purpose of this initiative is to support member states to accelerate the transformation of agri-food system, with a particular focus on the development of a value chain of some priority products or special agricultural products. Samoa selected COCO as its OCOP product. Samoan cocoa trees can be planted alongside other tropical crops, maximizing land use for farmers. Cocoa beans were brought to these islands in the late 19th century and are now part of the Samoan traditional diet and a valuable economic resource. We believe we have the best cocoa in the world. There's so many other crops, but we pick cocoa or salmon cocoa, because it's a drink that we've been having all our lives. Cocoa beans are roasted on a hot metal plate over an open fire and the husks are discarded. The warm beans are then transferred onto a wood or metal mortar, where they're ground to a liquid paste, known as cocoa's malu. Samoan cocoa has health benefits. It can improve cardiovascular health with high levels of flavonols, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The government is working to promote healthier, needy foods. Before the import goods come in, we have so much of our own traditional food, our own traditional plant, the herb pose and all that we have, it's a matter of putting it back again to the people. The OCOP initiative works with governments as an entry point to transform food systems in production, storage, processing and market developments of its special agro-products. If we can get training, obviously training, that will help us to improve our skills, the area of product development and product processing. Samoan cocoa is enjoyed by families across the islands, as a delicious drink and ingredient in local dishes. Wow, you know Samoan cocoa doesn't taste like Samoan cocoa, but rather like Samoan cocoa. Samoan cocoa is made from the same ingredients and is used to create a unique coffee. OCOP works with member states to build partnerships with investors and research institutes. The initiative promotes sustainable technology and alongside FAO works to identify needed investment. The One Country One Priority Product Initiative will contribute to Samoa's green agriculture and food supply chain, and promote secure livelihoods and good health for families across Samoa.
