EQUAL EXCHANGE: Organic Dark Chocolate Infused Orange 65 Percent Cacao, 2.8 oz

This chocolate bar is made from organic cacao from Dominican Republic and Peru, organic sugar from Paraguay and Costa Rica, and organic vanilla from Madagascar, all grown by small farmer co-ops. When farmers organize into co-ops they gain crucial market access, run their business democratically, and decide together how to invest in their communities. Since 2012, we’ve partnered with ACOPAGRO co-op, in Juanjuí, Peru. Since it’s founding in 1997, ACOPAGRO has grown to around 2,000 members and is the largest exporter of organic cacao in Peru. It offers a critical economic alternative to farmers in Peru’s San Martín region.
