Our premium quality organic chocolate is produced from tree to bar in rural Ghana. This wildly increases Africa's share of the value chain in the chocolate industry.
By not only sourcing the cocoa in Ghana but by producing the chocolate from bean to (wrapped) bar in Ghana, fairafric has a tremendous social impact, with every bar.
70% of the world’s cocoa comes from West Africa, but less than 1% of the world’s chocolate is made there. We are changing this system.
We pay the highest cocoa premiums in West Africa: 600 USD per ton of cocoa. Thus, the farmers can finance second and third degree education for their kids.
ABOUT FAIRAFRIC
We are fairafric - a German-Ghanaian social business that is revolutionizing the chocolate world. Africa's raw materials have always been used primarily for the production of goods in the Global North. That is why it is important to us to go one step further, to process raw materials locally and to transfer the added value as far as possible to Africa. In order to achieve this goal, we produce world-class chocolate in Ghana - from tree to bar. In doing so, we create jobs outside agriculture and multiply local income in the country of cocoa origin. With every purchase of fairafric you help to create qualified jobs in Africa, which in turn lead to higher income, better access to higher education and health care. No development aid, but a real opportunity. Be a part of it!
Again and again our customers ask us why our organic cocoa powder is so bright. Is there sugar or milk powder in it? To say it right away: No. Our cocoa powder consists of 100% organic cocoa and nothing else. But why the color is so bright and not dark brown, as you know it from the “pure” cocoa powder in the supermarket, is actually an interesting subject, that we want to tell you a little about.
Since 1954, the WHO has commemorated its founding with the World Health Day, highlighting a different subject connected to health each year. This year, they are focusing on “Building a fairer, healthier world”. Although health is a human right, not everyone has the same opportunities for a healthy life and good medical care.
The celebration of Easter in Ghana is characterized by a variety of activities and events with a mix of the joyous, the sacred and the mundane.
