Valrhona works with Conacado and COOPROAGRO, two cooperatives committed to organic farming and fair trade. They use agroforestry to grow cocoa varieties specific to the Dominican terroir. Since 2016, Valrhona has been funding Cacao Forest, a pioneering project bringing together farmers, businesses, researchers, consumers and NGOs to create innovative farming models that will increase cocoa quality, cocoa trees’ productivity and producers’ quality of life, while protecting the environment.
