We'll visit the local representative for Kuapa Kokoo Cooperative which is a Fairtrade organisation that ensures its members, who are cocoa farmers, get a good price for the cocoa they grow. If you have ever tasted Divine chocolate, then it is most likely from here as Kuapa Kokoo farmers own 44% of Divine chocolate. When eating a bar of Divine chocolate, you'll see a photograph and information on one of the Ghanaian farmers and their family who grow the cocoa and sell it through Kuapa Kokoo. During our time at the farm, we'll see the entire harvesting process, hear how the children use the unripe cocoa as sweets and learn how locals use the cocoa pods to make soap amongst other uses.
