The cacao sector is plagued by production coming from deforested land, poverty, and child labor. Furthermore, the lack of technological advances in a highly fragmented industry results in low productivity and the prevalence of antiquated growing practices. At the same time, demand for sustainably sourced food is growing due to rising concerns over climate change, biodiversity loss, human health, and social inequalities. Cacao is no different; chocolate companies are under pressure from their stakeholders to address these issues urgently.
