Rural Peruvian farmers are poor and disconnected from global markets. Private buyers take advantage of this and buy their crops at much lower prices.

Cooperativa Agrária Central de Cacao de Aroma (Cacao de Aroma) was formed to break that barrier. The organization serves as a channel of commercialization to facilitate export, receive financing and serve as a platform that helps solve common needs of its farmer members. Cacao de Aroma centralizes the post-harvest processes of fermenting and drying the cacao, resulting in standardized and higher quality. The latter allows CdA to export Tocache’s cacao as a specialty bean and enables farmers to get prices up to 30% higher than the alternative.

Since 2014, Cacao de Aroma has managed to gather over 890 member families to sell their cacao to the coop. The first batches sold as Cacao de Aroma have allowed rural farmers to increase their income nearly 30% by the achieved price difference.

The loan is special because it empowers Peruvian farmers with better quality inputs and high market prices.
