Cargill and Mondelez International sign agreement to support sustainable cocoa

Mondelez International’s Cocoa Life program shares several similarities with Cargill’s own Cocoa Promise program, as each initiative is focused on developing a cocoa supply chain that enables farmers to achieve better living standards, and on delivering a sustainable supply of cocoa and chocolate products.

 

Under this agreement, Cargill Cocoa Promise activities, which include farmer training, community support and farm development, will support Mondel?z International’s goal to reach more than 200,000 farmers in cocoa growing regions and to ultimately source 100 percent of its cocoa from sustainable sources. Initially the partnership is focusing on activities to support cocoa farmers and communities in West Africa to deliver sustainable cocoa to Mondel?z International, with plans to expand to Indonesia already explored.
