The annual interest rate of the bond is 6.00%. Interest is calculated annually and paid out once a year in the form of a voucher for our online shop.

The Chocolate Bond has a minimum term of 5 years from the date of your transfer. After this period, the contract automatically extends by one year at a time, unless it is terminated.

If you wish to have your invested amount paid out, you must terminate the Chocolate Bond at least 3 months before the end of the respective contract term. The repayment will then be made at the end of the term.

If no termination occurs – neither by you nor by fairafric – you will receive your interest each year in the form of a voucher.

2025
fairafric increases the quantities of cocoa from Dynamic Agroforestry and builds its own cocoa bean processing plant. Turnover almost doubled. Another 100 jobs, almost 300 people employed at fairafric Ghana.

The owners of fairafric are the founding team, our 1244 shareholders from among our customers, Ludwig Weinrich GmbH, claro fair trade AG, Third Way Capital (a Ghanaian impact investor), and our team.

100% of the funds will be used to finance our next purchase of organic cocoa from dynamic agroforestry.

For this, we pay the highest organic premium in all of West Africa.

fairafric AG achieved profitability by the end of 2025. From 2026, we also expect the fairafric Group to operate profitably. The exact timing of this depends heavily on the development of the world market price for cocoa.

With our new Visitor Center, we also want to give our customers the opportunity to gain a deep insight into our operations. In 2025 alone, more than 1,800 people visited us. The factory tour is combined with a visit to our cocoa communities, all in one day!
Unique in the world!

You will receive the interest as a voucher for our online shop. This will be sent to you every year in the month in which you originally made the transfer.
The voucher is valid for the entire product range, does not expire and can be redeemed flexibly over several orders - so you can choose your favorite products at any time.

The campaign will run until €99,000 has been subscribed. Due to high demand, we expect a full subscription quickly. We process subscriptions in the order they are received.

We do not share information about our investors with any tax authorities. You simply declare the interest/dividends received in your tax return.

If you would like to lend us money interest-free, send us a short email. This is also possible, of course, and supports us even more.

As the subordinated loan is issued unsecured, your investment may be subject to a total loss.

Therefore, under no circumstances invest money that you absolutely need.
