An official presentation of our well-known flavors is long overdue. We want to make up for this here and thus support you in the fact that the colorful fairafric bars are among your favorite chocolates.
Sometimes you need a little energy boost in the afternoon don´t you? How about some delicious little energy balls with our fairafric cocoa powder?
Let's talk about beans! Cocoa beans are very important for us to be able to produce our chocolate. To ensure that it not only tastes good but also meets the highest organic quality standards, the little beans have to go through a number of processes and inspections before they can be turned into chocolate. Today we would like to show you what the journey of our fairafric beans looks like.
Last week, we have already announced it in our newsletter: fairafric now has an extension officer!

How do our departments work and interact with each other? Starting with Team Germany, we would like to tell you more about the people behind the company.
Imagine if all the food produced worldwide since the beginning of this year was simply thrown away. That would be pretty stupid, wouldn't it? And an insane waste of labor, money and resources. But that is exactly what is happening. Every year, a third of the food produced globally simply ends up in the bin. In Germany, we are among the front-runners when it comes to throwing food away. But other countries, such as Ghana, are also struggling with this problem. So let’s talk about it.
