    The present study proposes an improvement plan based on the analysis of the SCOR model for the cocoa supply chain in the APEOSAE Federation. The specific objectives include mapping the supply chain using the SCOR model and designing an improvement proposal. The SCOR model was employed as the independent variable, providing a standardized framework for analysis and diagnosis, while the cocoa supply chain of APEOSAE was defined as the dependent variable. The methodology included a census sampling, covering all supply chain processes from harvest to return, complemented by structured interviews and field observation. The results reveal that, although the organization efficiently manages sourcing and inbound logistics, there are critical deficiencies in planning and production. These areas, especially inventory management and production infrastructure, need substantial improvements. The implementation of improvement strategies, the adoption of advanced technologies, and the application of best practices are presented as viable solutions to optimize the supply chain, reduce costs, and increase quality and customer satisfaction. The research highlights the utility of the SCOR model to identify and evaluate key processes, suggesting that its systematic application can lead to significant improvements in operational efficiency and competitiveness of the cocoa supply chain in the APEOSAE Federation.
