Locally sourced Cocoa with a conscience

Long-term partnerships with smallholder COCOA farmers

We work directly with around 3,000 smallholder cocoa farming families across the Greater Sepik Region of Papua New Guinea. These long-term partnerships provide farmers with a reliable market and direct income, while giving buyers confidence in where their cocoa comes from. Our approach utilizes transparency, consistency, and mutual trust to ensure that we provide ethically and responsibly sourced cocoa all over the world.

Our mission is to build fair and reliable incomes for inclusive growth in the Papua New Guinea agriculture value chain, by hosting regular training events every year to equip cocoa farmers with the practical skills that directly increase their yield and cocoa bean quality with less harm to the natural environment.

Our Field Services team works hands-on with partner farmers, providing ongoing training in cocoa tree management, pest and disease control, cocoa bean fermentation, drying, and quality standards. In collaboration with the Papua New Guinea Cocoa Board, hundreds of farmers have received formal training to meet international market requirements. This practical support helps farmers produce high-integrity, premium-grade, quality cocoa, season after season.

From village farms through to our processing facility in Wewak, ethical cocoa sourcing is crucial to our daily operations. We work directly with cocoa farmers, oversee quality and food safety at every stage, and process cocoa locally to create value at origin. This hands-on approach gives our buyers confidence that our cocoa products are traceable, responsibly produced, sustainable and suitable for global food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications.

ethical sourcing in practice, not just on paper.
