What is Cacao of Excellence ?
Exceptional Cacao. Thriving Producers.
Led by the Alliance of Bioversity International and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture, Cacao of Excellence exists to unlock the potential of cacao quality for better farmer livelihoods, thriving biodiversity, and stronger, more resilient value chains. We work globally to discover, recognise, and promote superior cacao — and to support producers and partners with the knowledge, tools, and networks they need to ensure that their quality cacao is recognised and appropriately valued.
