Wassa Amenfi Cocoa Landscape Initiative, Ghana
The project aims at expanding Ferrero’s sustainable cocoa sourcing, in line with new EU legislation supporting the sourcing and traceability of deforestation-free cocoa. By supporting deforestation-free cocoa production, boosting productivity, enhancing climate resilience, and providing additional income from ecosystem services and payments, it seeks to increase and diversify income sources for cocoa farmers in the Western South region. Set to be a model for EU-compliant cocoa sourcing, the project has the potential for replication in other cocoa-producing regions and countries, positioning it as a vital step for sustainable cocoa-sourcing.
