Divine Chocolate! PDF Print E-mail

Divine is the Fairtrade chocolate company co-owned by the cocoa farmers cooperative Kuapa Kokoo in Ghana, who not only receive a fair price for their cocoa but also share in the company's profit.

When the Kuapa Kokoo co-operative of farmers sell their cocoa beans for Fairtrade chocolate, they are guaranteed a fair price. This means that farming communities can cover their costs and plan for the future. The fair price is set (by the Fairtrade Labelling Organisation) at about £56 per sack of cocoa. On top of the Fairtrade price, Kuapa Kokoo receives an additional £14 per sack of cocoa, called the social premium—for things like clean water wells, new schools/education centres, corn mills and better health care provision—to spend on community projects.

Also, because Kuapa Kokoo owns the company that makes Divine Chocolate, Ghanaian farmers have a say in how the chocolate is produced and sold, as well as a share in the profits! Visit the Divine Chocolate website for detailed product information, like ingredients and nutritional values.
