Cocoa production in Peru has seen remarkable growth in recent years, positioning it as a potential driver for poverty reduction. This study examines the relationship between cocoa cultivation and poverty levels in cocoa-producing regions during the 2008–2019 period. The analysis employs panel data regression models estimated using pooled OLS, fixed effects, and random effects approaches. To address omitted variable bias, control variables, and the Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS) estimator are incorporated. The results indicate that a 20% increase in productivity leads to a 0.2 percentage point reduction in poverty rates, while price fluctuations have no significant effect. These findings underscore the importance of policies focused on enhancing cocoa productivity as a means to alleviate poverty
