This chocolate bar is made from organic cacao from Togo, Dominican Republic and Peru, organic sugar from Paraguay and Costa Rica, and sea salt from France, all grown by small farmer co-ops. When farmers organize into co-ops they gain crucial market access, run their business democratically, and decide together how to invest in their communities. Since 2018, we’ve partnered with SCOOPS IKPA, in Badou, Togo. “IKPA” means “strength” in the Akposso language, a fitting name for this co-operative, which has a solid forward-looking mission. Their vision for 2030 is to grow crops organically in the region in order to benefit the health of the whole community.
