Who are the producers that benefit from sales of Equal Exchange cocoa & chocolate?
Eight cooperatives of mostly small-scale, organic family farmers in the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Peru, Paraguay and the United States, plus two small worker cooperatives, one Canada, and one in the U.S. - Equal Exchange. Besides ourselves these groups include:
CONACADO (the National Confederation of Dominican Cocoa Producers). This cooperative includes 9,000 small-scale farmers, or 1/4th of all Dominican cocoa growers. www.conacado.com
CACVRA (Cooperativa Agraria Cafetelera del Valle Rio Apur�mac), and El Quinacho, two cooperatives of approximately 1,500 small-scale coffee and cocoa growers (total) in southern Peru.
Four co-ops of small-scale sugar cane farmers. Three in Paraguay - the Montillo, Arroyense, and Manduvir� cooperatives - and one in Costa Rica - the Asoprodulce co-op in Jaris.
The Organic Valley Cooperative of Family Farms, 600+ organic farmers across eighteen U.S. states. who produce their own brand of organic dairy products, soy milk, meat, eggs and orange juice. We use their organic dried milk powder in our hot cocoa mix and in our organic milk chocolate bars. www.organicvalley.coop
La Siembra. Like Equal Exchange La Siembra, is a worker-owned cooperative dedicated to Fair Trade. They are based in Ottawa, Canada and have their own brand of Fair Trade organic cocoa and sugar products, Cocoa Camino, for the Canadian market.
