Barry Callebaut unlocks pre-harvest activities for better cocoa yield
Pre-harvest activities are critical to boost productivity.
As part of Barry Callebaut's Forever Chocolate commitment to lift more than 500,000 cocoa farmers in its supply chain out of poverty by 2025, the company is supporting farmers by modernizing agriculture and cultivation methods, increasing yields, diversifying income, and professionalizing farming.
Established in 2018, its Farm Services Business is focused on supporting farmers with Farm Business Plans (FBPs), which constitute a multi-year model of the potential income a specific farm can generate if managed optimally. Providing farmers with a tailored offering is the key cornerstone of its multi-year FBPs, which present the farmers with a journey out of poverty based on their individual situation and farm profile.
