The mission of cooperative Acopagro is to support smallholder cocoa farmers in achieving a sustainable livelihood through good agricultural practices. Acopagro sources cocoa beans from its members who live in the Central Amazon region of Peru.
The beans are sorted, fermented, dried, and tested in Acopagro's own lab, which contains a miniature chocolate factory so that the buyers' requirements for taste, aroma and acridity can be tried. This ensures a high quality of its fair trade and organic certified cocoa that complies with the directions from the buyers in the United States and Europe.
