¿Qué han alcanzado hasta ahora y cuáles son los próximos pasos?
We are a Missing Middle company working in rural development. Our focus is to equip our employees with skills that help them in the workplace and beyond, including protecting the incredible biodiversity in Stann Creek District. We purchase cocoa (and soon vanilla) from small farmers in our region and seek assistance in providing them training in agroforestal concepts.
¿Cómo se aseguran de que están haciendo las cosas bien?
We are working towards Global GAP certification for our production, and we are in the process of mapping all the farms we source from, using Primary Commodity Research’s CC1 Collect System to encourage more farmers to the sector, a Living Wage study is required and we encourage collaborators to assist us in developing such a project.

Información adicional
We are constructing a larger laboratory to increase our in-vitro production capacity, and for further research into cocoa and vanilla genetics and post harvest processing. We welcome researchers who need on-site facilities to further their studies into these sectors.
