What is Cacao of Excellence ?

Cacao of Excellence is a non-profit programme led by the Alliance of Bioversity International and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture. Since 2009, Cacao of Excellence has been empowering smallholder cacao farmers and fostering their cacao's profitability to improve farmer livelihoods and drive sustainability of the cacao supply chain. Through our Global Awards platform, we provide global recognition to producers of superior quality cacao and celebrate the diversity of flavours across origins.
