* in 22/23, two new partner cooperatives were added in Côte d’Ivoire: Coobadi and Coopaza.
The long-term Long-term joint commitment between Tony’s Open Chain mission allies and partner cooperatives ensures income security and enables farmers to plan properly and make strong financial decisions when investing or recouping costs. Our partnerships guarantee at least 5 years of sales at a higher price with every partner cooperative by setting up a ‘Memorandum of Understanding’ – a five-year cooperation agreement after a one-year trial period. This includes a five-year strategic plan. This plan contains a clear mission, vision and a joint strategy for the coming years. The five-year plan is owned by the partner co-op and an excellent basis for the annual plans and a great gauge for keeping an eye on how things are going. In the annual plans, specific activities and projects are outlined which form the basis for mutual evaluation at the end of each cocoa season. Quality and productivity This Sourcing Principle looks at productivity, diversification and quality programs to improve yields without increasing farm size or illegal labour. Sustainable practices like composting and pruning make for healthier farms, meaning higher yields of high-quality cocoa. (More on p. 13)
