Why it matters

The businesses that connect cocoa farmers to the world.

Cocoa transparency chain: perception versus reality

The millions of women and men who grow cocoa across Africa deserve our respect and meaningful support. But to reach farmers, we must first understand the businesses that buy directly from them.

Cocoa in Africa comes from millions of smallholder farmers on independent plots. The first organized point of the supply chain is the cooperatives, buying groups, local traders and aggregators who purchase cocoa and move it towards export.

This is where transparency begins. This is where ACM works.
