Spotted in Kyoto - Dandelion Chocolate from the Gola Rainforest in Sierra Leone. Very pleased to see this exceptional 🍫 in Japan. We’re working with farmers in the forest to grow #cocoa in harmony with the ancient forest to protect #biodiversity and wildlife #SustainablySourced.

The Asháninka are one of the most isolated communities in the Peruvian basin and rely upon #cocoa production as a source of income. With the support of RainforestFoundation and Central Ashaninka del Rio Ene, Kemito Ene produces unique #organic cocoa we are happy feature during #OrganicSeptember.

So kind of good friends ⁦Dormouse Chocolates⁩ in Manchester to share lovely bar with cacao from the edges of the Gola Rainforest in Sierra Leone. Through ⁦Twin⁩ and ⁦Divine Chocolate⁩ I have met growers from this region and heard their fascinating stories

With a dramatic decline in coffee prices, millions of smallholders aren’t making enough to live on. So, International Coffee Organization (ICO) has a petition, #coffeepledge, in support of coffee farmers earning a living income. Have you signed it yet? bit.ly/coffeepledge.

I advocate for doing what we can, "no matter how small or incremental it may feel, and also recognising that these problems are massive and we need to acknowledge their complexity." Listen to this brilliant podcast featuring our Associate, Dr. Kristy Leissle : lnkd.in/dRvWduV.

By 2050, we'll need 3x the volume of coffee to meet demand, yet the land available is reducing due to climate change. For #InternationalCoffeeDay, Conservation Intl is asking you to help #SustainCoffee by donating to a project to plant more trees: bit.ly/2o7I8Jj.

The #missingmiddle is expansive & requires #segmentation. This #evaluation, found that it is not just #smes that need segmentation, but #impact #investors too. Such enterprise/investor matchmaking requires breadth & depth. See the lessons from ACRE: argidius.com/772-2/#more-772

Twin has a rich history with a unique approach to trade. We championed gender equality & we forged longterm relationships between smallholders & buyers. After 35 years, we're very sad to be closing: bit.ly/Twin_legacy.#F… Questions: [email protected]
