Update on Cargill Cocoa Promise progress

Cargill has published its second report on the Cargill Cocoa Promise, highlighting its progress towards improving the livelihoods of cocoa famers and their communities.

The company has introduced a monitoring and evaluation system to improve the effectiveness of its activities, enabling a more evidence based approach to help raise the living standards of farmers and their families, as well as to address the sustainability challenges in the cocoa supply chain.

“We have advanced our way of thinking and reporting. It’s not only about reaching the farmer, we are focused on improving livelihoods of cocoa farmers and their communities. Capturing the results of our efforts achieved on the ground is key, as it helps us understand how our actions are delivering results that truly benefit farmers and communities,” says Harold Poelma, president, Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate.
