Les agriculteurs qui ont \u00e9lagu\u00e9 leurs arbres d'ombrage ont vu leur rendement passer de 430 kg\/ha \u00e0 710 kg\/ha de f\u00e8ves de cacao s\u00e8ches.

Les exploitations ayant des rendements de base plus \u00e9lev\u00e9s sont celles qui en ont le plus profit\u00e9 sur le plan \u00e9conomique, car les revenus suppl\u00e9mentaires provenant de l'augmentation de la production de cacao l'ont emport\u00e9 sur les co\u00fbts de l'\u00e9lagage.
