Ivory Coast

In 2020, our Cocoa programme started to take shape in Ivory Coast. In 2021, we worked with 136 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.
