Vinces Project - WFP
In October 2023, República del Cacao becomes the first SME to sign a Collaboration Agreement with the United Nations World Food Program (WFP).
The Agency was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2020 for supporting countries in conflict situations with food assistance. It also helps smallholder farmers improve productivity and reduce losses, helps countries and communities prepare for and cope with climate-related shocks, and boosts human capital through school feeding programs.
As part of the "Project to promote cocoa and banana consumption in favor of nutrition", República del Cacao and the WFP joined forces to promote a responsible supply chain. As part of this effort, they trained farmers from Santa Elena at the República del Cacao Collection Center in Vinces in advanced cultivation, harvesting and post-harvesting techniques. This agreement marks an important step towards a more sustainable and conscious agriculture.
Together, we change the world one cocoa bean at a time!
