At the heart of our supply chain are over 200 smallholder farming households and 2 registered farmer cooperatives located across Cameroon's prime cocoa-producing regions. We do not buy from commodity brokers — every kilogram of cocoa we export is traceable to a named farmer or cooperative in our network.
Our farmer relationships are built on fair pricing — consistently above market floor — combined with technical support through Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) training and access to inputs. We cover approximately 800 hectares of cultivated cocoa land with an average farm size of 2–4 hectares per household.
Women farmers are actively included in our cooperative structures, and we hold a strict zero-tolerance policy on child labour, verified through regular supply chain monitoring.
