Road ahead

Print
Our industry depends upon the well-being of millions of cocoa farmers around the world. Since the 1990s, the cocoa and chocolate industry has worked to build successful programs and partnerships that drive economic and social development and environmental conservation because it is in our mutual interest to have thriving cocoa communities.
The reach and impact of chocolate industry-supported programs will continue to expand – improving economic and social conditions in cocoa farming communities, promoting responsible labor practices and protecting the surrounding environment. The focus will remain on:
 
  • the improvement of farmer incomes
  • monitoring, corrective action and reporting on labor practices
  • access of farmers to education
  • the support of sustainable and environmental-friendly cocoa growing practices
