We’re proud to launch the first project in Sierra Leone. “Project TRUST”, implemented by COCOASOURCE addresses the key challenges in the cocoa sector and empowers farmers to achieve sustainability and resilience. Here’s how Project TRUST will make a difference: 1️⃣ 𝘌𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘍𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘴: By setting a Living Income Reference Price for Sierra Leone, we aim to ensure cocoa farmers earn a fair income, improving livelihoods and building long-term buyer relationships. 2️⃣ 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵: The project promotes deforestation-free, climate-friendly cocoa production, identifying conservation areas and encouraging climate-smart farming, backed by a Payment for Environmental Services (PES) system. 3️⃣ 𝘌𝘯𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺: Farm mapping and digital management systems will ensure transparency and traceability across the supply chain, vital for fair income distribution and building trust.
