Last weekend, we celebrated International Day of Cooperatives, a holiday dear to our heart. Cooperatives are the thread that runs through nearly all of Fairtrade’s work around the world and even through its history. Fairtrade traces its lineage to pioneers of labor organizing; farmworkers and craftspeople who came together to demand equitable treatment and force corporations to acknowledge their humanity. And now, Fairtrade works directly with smallholder farming cooperatives because Farmers understand their own needs best, and by uniting within cooperatives, those collective needs can be heard and met.

Did you know your chocolate starts as a cocoa pod? On the farms of small-scale farmers in countries like Cote d'Ivoire, people gather to collect cocoa pods, crack and ferment the cocoa beans inside, all long before they're turned to chocolate and land on our shelves.

It's World Chocolate Day - So if you crack open a chocolate bar or drizzle melted chocolate over your ice cream, think of the people at the beginning. Because even chocolate is personal.

Fairtrade America recently accompanied Peter S. Goodman of the New York Times to Côte d’Ivoire for this story on the international cocoa industry. We visited two Fairtrade cooperatives, ECAKOOG and SCOOPAKAM, to learn about their approaches to cocoa farming, including village savings and loans associations, composting, and agroforestry efforts funded through their Fairtrade Premium earnings. It was an insightful experience, thanks in large part to our colleagues at Fairtrade Africa’s Abidjan office who, along with the co-ops, gave us a warm Ivoirian akwaba (Baoulé for welcome). We are thrilled to see the incredible work of Fairtrade farmers featured on one of the biggest news platforms in the world.

ECAKOOG started composting over five years ago as part of ongoing Fairtrade initiatives to increase climate resilience. This skill and cooperative function is proving even more important with the rise in fuel and fertilizer prices.

ECAKOOG’s co-op headquarters, featuring anti-child labor and pro-environment messaging.
