Early estimates point to higher production thanks to the new fermentation techniques adopted by our members.
The 2026 cocoa season is off to a great start for COPATE COOP-CA. Thanks to the technical support programme rolled out to our farmers, bean quality is improving significantly.
Community fermentation boxes installed in several villages have helped standardise practices and produce more consistent cocoa. Partner buyers have praised this improvement, which translates into better value per kilo.
The cooperative is continuing its efforts to achieve sustainable certification and open up new export opportunities.
