Ghana

In 2019, we started up our cocoa programme in Ghana. This was our first time venturing into West Africa’s cocoa sector. In 2021, we worked with 1,187 producers.

As of 2022, we have been able to scale up our programme, brokering relationships with supermarkets and companies, so that cooperatives can take part in sustainability programmes they have set up and form inclusive business relationships.
