Barry Callebaut and Cameroon intensity collaboration to support young cocoa farmers
Barry Callebaut and the government of Cameroon signed a letter of intent on May 23 to intensify the cooperation on sustainable cocoa farming—in particular, supporting the next generation of cocoa farmers. Barry Callebaut and the Cameroon government aim to support the next generation of cocoa farmers from Cameroon through the NEW GENERATION* program by establishing access to family farm plots, training, inputs, financing and equipment acquisition.
In addition, the focus will be on cocoa farmer income diversification programs, by promoting, next to cocoa farming, the cultivation of other agricultural products and the marketing of these products.
