Cargill has outlined its plan to eliminate deforestation from its cocoa supply chain.

The amount of sustainable cocoa sourced by Cargill in Ghana has doubled since the establishment of its own licensed buying company (LBC) model, and over 13,000 cocoa farmers are now benefiting from the initiative – up by 30 percent from 10,000 a year ago.

Barry Callebaut and the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) signed a letter of intent June 4, to intensify the cooperation on sustainable cocoa farming.
