One of the communities we work with is the town of Saloy. Situated between tropical mountain forests, Saloy is a small community in Davao nourished by the fresh spring water flowing through its lush farms. It is part of an agricultural region in the Philippines wherein farming of cacao, copras (kernel of the coconut), and a variety of local fruits and vegetables are the main livelihood sources.They are also the source of one of our Reserve Bars named after their inherited lands: Mana. by 2022.
Here in Saloy, our partners have formed a people’s organization called Saloy Organic Farmers Association (SOFA) to coordinate their efforts to convert to organic farming practices.They are a part of one of our community programs, the Organic Certification Program (OCP), where Auro Chocolate assists them in their organic conversion by providing training, inputs, and sponsorship of the certification fees.Together with SOFA, we are hopeful to obtain the organic certification by 2022.
