The Journey Behind Your Chocolate: Introducing the Nestlé Cocoa Plan

Pruning And Sustainable Cocoa Production

Selectively pruning degraded and diseased branches can help improve overall yield and quality of cocoa pods from older trees. By promoting pruning, farmers can divesify incomes while limiting crop disease and loss, to great effect.

Helping Kids into School

Enrolling children from 6-16 years old into school is one of the central incentive pillars of the Income Accelerator Program. By helping women get their children to shool, we can ensure incentives payments are used to fund what matters the most.

Farmer Training Program

Engagement with farmers is a key pillar of the Nestlé Cocoa Plan. We work directly with them to address gaps in their knowledge on a wide range of subjects, helping to improve safety, health and livelihoods.

The Benefits of Beekeeping

Work can be seasonal for cocoa farmers in West Africa, with incomes slowing down outside of harvest periods. Beekeeping can give communities a low-space and low-expense source of additional income.
