TESTIMONIALSCÔTE D'IVOIREAKEKOUA ANE YVETTECOCOA FAMRER
Today, my cocoa farm is located on fallow land where there
were aging coffee trees. Through Cocoa Horizons we have beentaught to use the fallow lands and not clear new land for ourfarms. This is how we tackle deforestation. We put the emphasis
on farm rejuvenation.

and earn good money doing a respectable thing. There’s noneed to go to work in town.’
