CADESA is a dynamic cocoa cooperative in the Sassandra department of Ivory Coast. Created in 2003, the cooperative collects and markets cocoa beans from its 1,800 producers. In 20 years, it has achieved a number of milestones: an increase in the number of producers, a rise in tonnage, consideration of environmental and social aspects, recognition for export sales.....

 

In 2023, the cooperative hopes to reach a new milestone by finding a European chocolatier willing to enter into a partnership to set up a chocolate factory in San Pedro (the world's leading cocoa bean export port).
