Collaboration with Rabobank Foundation
Our Farmers, Chocolate
Together with the Peruvian farmers' cooperative Norandino, where our beans for the Awajun bar come from, we set up various projects to help the cocoa farmers. We are improving the infrastructure for fermenting the beans and planting new cocoa trees on degraded land. We are also building a chocolate factory together at the cooperative's site.
We do this together with Rabobank Foundation. Rabobank Foundation is providing a large part of the funding. To make this cooperation tangible, we have created a special bar for the Rabobank: The 'Norandino bar'.
Here the first bar will be handed over by Santiago Paz Lopez, director of the cooperative, to Pierre van Hedel, director of Rabobank Foundation.
