Company looks to expand effort as all participating farmers pass certification audit.
The successful launch and completion of its HERSHEY LEARN TO GROW program in Ghana, which was implemented 18 months ago to help increase the incomes and improve living standards of more than 1,400 cocoa farm families there, has prompted The Hershey Co. to expand the initiative. As a result, by launching Phase II of the program, the company looks to increase the number of participating farmers from its current 1,465 to more than 21,000 across Ghana.
