We work in partnerships
We connect farmers directly with markets to leave a long lasting impact beyond the life of a given project. We partner with companies that not only wish to invest in improving cacao quality and yields, but also in the systems that make those improvements possible for the future, such as higher prices, good genetic material for planting, and more direct, feasible and profitable supply chains for smallholder farmers.
