COCOA FARMING ENTREPRENEURSHIP
We encourage cocoa farming entrepreneurship, by helping farmers (smallholders) see the necessity to manage their farms as a business. This will help them overcome poverty, and pave the way for a decent, and sustainable living standard
ENHANCING COCOA SUSTAINABILITY
We promote cocoa sustainability, by bringing stakeholders together to jointly address farmer and farm challenges such as, income, limited GAP knowledge, child labour, deforestation and climate change, to secure cocoa sustainability
