Empowering cocoa farmers
At Cacao-Trace, we are committed to empowering cocoa farmers through three key areas:
​
-
Better Income: The primary challenge in the cocoa supply chain is farmer poverty, the root cause of many issues. Cacao-Trace guarantees better income for farmers through the Quality Premium and Chocolate Bonus, providing an additional 2 to 5 months of income annually. Our long-term volume commitment ensures a stable partnership with Cacao-Trace farmer communities.
-
Better Education: We support farmers’ families by building schools, canteens, and toilets, and by creating the right educational environment with school kits for children.
-
Better Health: We prioritize better health conditions by installing facilities to ensure access to drinkable water and constructing maternities in the communities.
Preserving the Planet
Through our Cacao-Trace Program, we support good agricultural practices, agroforestry initiatives, and traceability across our cocoa supply chain. These initiatives aim to contribute to responsible cocoa production and support cocoa-farming communities, while helping address environmental challenges in cocoa-growing regions.
