In 1984, a group of 45 farmers in the San Francisco de Marcoris area decided to form a cooperative so that they themselves could export the cocoa they grow. Thanks in part to help from Germany, the cooperative quickly started exporting its cocoa.
Since 2017, COOPROAGRO and Valrhona have been working together closely on a long-term basis, the aim being to improve cooperative members’ living conditions. Our collaborative efforts center around producing a high-quality cocoa called Hispaniola. In order to take the partnership a step further, in 2023 Valrhona will finance its first community projects with the cooperative, the needs of whose producers have been ranked through a voting system that has included every member.
