The Programme

FEDCO manages an in-house Sustainability Department to build farmers’ capacity, using effective adult training tools to improve productivity and sustainability. Improved farm productivity allows farmers to generate higher income, creating thriving cocoa communities.

In partnership with CMC and our trading partners, we engage in the export of Traceable and Certified cocoa beans to help promote sustainability in cocoa production through community development and capacity building of farmers. Under this program, farmers are trained on Good Agricultural Practices, Good Social Practices and Farmer Business School that empowers the farmers economically.
