‘MAKING A DIFFERENCE TOGETHER IN COCOA’

Farmgate Cocoa Alliance (FCA) exist to promote a cocoa sector whereby, cocoa farmers and particularly the (unorganized smallholders) are able to sustainably manage their cocoa farms, as a business. We strongly believe, a fair, stable and sustainable cocoa sector depends on the capability of smallholder farmers.

This way, the sector will be inclusive, transparent sustainable and benefit people, business and planet.
