Did you know all cocoa isn’t the same?

Cocoa comes in different types, each with its own origin and unique character.
Forastero – the most widely grown in the world and the most common type found in Ghana, known for its strength and high yield.
Criollo – rare and delicate, originating from Central America, prized for its rich, fine flavor.
Trinitario – a hybrid born in the Caribbean (Trinidad), combining quality and resilience.
Nacional – native to Ecuador, famous for its distinctive aroma.

At CHED, this mindset drives everything we do. From supporting farmers to strengthening every link in the cocoa value chain, we face challenges head-on because growth doesn’t come from comfort.

Every innovation, every training, every step forward is about confronting obstacles and turning them into opportunities for a stronger, more sustainable cocoa industry.

We don’t run from challenges—we grow through them. 🌱🍫

We salute you !
