Cocoa

The Rainforest Alliance works with almost one million cocoa farmers worldwide—from West Africa (which produces 70 percent of the world’s cocoa) to Indonesia, Honduras, and beyond. Together with local farming communities and our global partners, we work to tackle closely interlinked challenges, such as deforestation, rural poverty, and child labor. Follow the frog to learn how!
