This study consisted of a "Strategic Plan for Phytosanitary Risk Management (Moniliophthora roreri) to prevent and reduce the disease in the northeast region of the Dominican Republic." It was suggested to describe the social and economic characteristics of cocoa ducks, which is the dominant risk of Moniliophthora roreri. It involved the participation of the public and private sectors and the initiation of viable recommendations related to all members of the production chain. The study uses a mixed approach with a non-experimental and cross-sectional design that utilized studies of accidentally selected cocoa producers in the northeast region. Quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed along with documentary studies to diagnose the phytosanitary situation and based on the strategic phytosanitary risk management plan. The diagnosis revealed a serious knowledge deficit regarding Moniliophthora roreri, high dependence on traditional practices, limited access to technical assistance and financing, and barely any agronomic diversification. However, the strong producer organization provided a significant opportunity to implement collective activities, intensive training, and effective biosafety protocols. Finally, the plan includes eight lines of work: strengthening knowledge and physical activity, integrated pest and disease management (IPM), access to technical assistance and exacerbation and coordination of manufacturers, resource management and financing, sustainable agronomic practices, health management, and biosecurity.
