Campaigns

Equal Trade Chocolate Tastes Better

Did you know, the highest quality cocoa in the world is grown in Africa? Despite this, the cocoa farmers who work hard to ensure this quality are devastatingly underpaid. Meanwhile, immense wealth is generated through Europe across the entire chocolate supply chain. We don’t think this is fair. Do you? The Equal Trade Chocolate Campaign focuses on transforming the cocoa value chain to ensure that Ghanaian cocoa producers receive fair compensation. This initiative collaborates with cocoa farmers, cooperatives, and retailers to promote Equal Trade Certified chocolate, offering consumers a way to support ethical, sustainable production.
