This work investigates the technological optimization of Theobroma Cacao harvest based on integrating three research domains. The First, assessing cocoa productivity in a site-specific farm under different soil
conditions, irrigation, fertilization, diseases, and environment, based on statistical and machine learning models. The Second is developing a mathematical model involving operational research techniques to improve managerial decision-making in cocoa field operations under uncertainty. The Third is deploying a knowledge-based technical management systems solution in cocoa farming, considering technological infrastructure constraints and user-centered design.
