An Overview of the Past Year
COST DISTRIBUTION ACROSS THE SUPPLY CHAIN
One of the most important aspects we want to measure from our tree-to-bar process is the share earned by our partner producers from our whole operations. Since last year, we have been trying to understand this by getting the percentage that goes to our partners from the costs of our whole production - from buying one (1) metric ton of cacao to making it into chocolates.
We’re happy to say that a considerable portion of our costs still remains allotted to the payment of our partners. Right now, 45% of our total cost in the production of 1 metric ton of cacao to chocolate, including additional premiums, goes to our partner farms. This is now higher than our previous statistics of 39% share with farmers from last year, and now makes up the majority of the share of our costs for our chocolate production.
