Cargill leverages technology to improve transparency in pursuit of a thriving cocoa sector
Food and beverage manufacturers and their consumers care more than ever before about the standards behind the things they buy, including cocoa. That’s why Cargill is committed to a transparent and sustainable supply of cocoa, which includes improving the lives of farmers and their communities in the five origin countries from where it directly sources cocoa—Brazil, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana and Indonesia. The highlights of their latest efforts and the progress we’ve made are captured in the Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate 2018-2019 Sustainability Progress Report.
”This sustainability progress report highlights how Cargill uses technology to connect every dot in the cocoa supply chain. Maximum transparency in the cocoa sector is critical for making real progress on sustainability. It not only helps cocoa farmers, their families and communities prosper, but also helps protect our planet. I am confident that working with our partners we can continue to make great strides in achieving a thriving cocoa sector,” said Harold Poelma, president of Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate.
