We work in partnership

LWR is executing the cacao program directly in El Salvador, by providing producers with training in the implementation of best practices to increase productivity, quality and profitability.
LWR has organized producers to expand their geographic reach and provide advice on flavor mapping as a tool to establish linkages with buyers of fine flavor and aroma cacao.

News

“The good practices we learned in the MOCCA and LWR training programs were the key to winning 3rd place in the 2020 National Cacao of Excellence Competition. This great achievement is a success for me and my family, and also for the organizations that support the development of the cacao sector in El Salvador and that are driving our country towards becoming a globally recognized cocoa producer”.
