CacaoPlanter is a QGIS plugin designed to assist
cacao plantation management by generating planting
block grids, calculating area using CRS-aware
measurement, processing DEM-based slope analysis,
and automating spatial data workflows for
agricultural land planning.
CacaoPlanter helps agronomy and GIS teams plan cacao planting layouts directly in QGIS.
Key features:
- Generate planting points (triangular / square grid patterns)
- Shade tree planning with configurable ratio and buffer
- Slope analysis from any elevation raster: DTM/DSM Drone (Metashape, ODM, Pix4D), SRTM, LiDAR DTM, or skip if no DEM
- Global CRS selector — works with any projected coordinate system worldwide
- CRS-aware distance calculation for accurate spacing
- Planting block grid layer (fishnet) aligned to row/column spacing
- Population density statistics per hectare (trees/ha)
- Multi-format export: Shapefile, GeoPackage, KML, DXF
- Background processing via QgsTask — UI stays responsive during generation
