Kuapa Kokoo is a cocoa farmers' co-operative based in Ghana. Cocoa is the second biggest export after gold and Ghana is the second biggest exporter of cocoa in the world. Communities derive money from cocoa. Ghanaian farmers choose to become Kuapa Kokoo co-operatives, given that it provides them with a fair deal and invests in areas like schools; toilets; paying for farmers' education and training. Other cocoa companies simply don't provide farmers' communities with any benefits save for poor salaries.
Divine Chocolate, a leading Fairtrade company, is co-owned by the Kuapa Kokoo farmers’ cooperative in Ghana.
