Sharing Value through Doing Good

Our initiative centers on cocoa farmers and the planet. By enhancing cocoa flavor and quality, we create extra value shared with cocoa farming communities, ensuring a sustainable future for cocoa and peace of mind to chocolate lovers.

A Quality Premium for superior cocoa

For the high-quality wet beans we receive from cocoa farmers, we pay a Quality Premium on top of the farmgate price. This ensures a better income for farmers and addresses one of the main challenges in the cocoa chain: farmers’ poverty.

A unique approach: the Quality Premium and Chocolate Bonus

Together, the Quality Premium and the Chocolate Bonus lead to better income for cocoa farmers and support life-changing community projects in Cacao-Trace communities.

Impacting lives with the Chocolate Bonus

For every kilogram of Cacao-Trace chocolate sold, we collect €0.10. This money is sent back entirely to cocoa farmers to support life-changing projects in their communities. The Chocolate Bonus is fully distributed to cocoa farmers to enhance their income, education, and health. These community projects are chosen collaboratively with the communities.
