The Cocoa Barometer 2015 provides an overview of the current sustainability developments in the cocoa sector, and highlights critical issues that deserve greater attention. The authors have chosen to focus on West Africa, because of its dominance in cocoa production and the significant challenges it faces. The two special thematic focus points of this Barometer are “Value Distribution in the Cocoa Supply Chain” and “Living Income for Smallholder Farmers”.
The report features information on major chocolate manufacturers including Barry Callebaut, Mondelez, Cargill and Olam as well as cocoa certifiers UTZ Certified, Rainforest Alliance and Fairtrade.
