The Rainforest Alliance has supported Nestlé Cocoa Plan’s work with cocoa farming families around the world since 2017. One of the services we offer is data-powered monitoring and evaluation of field programs, so we can better assess sustainability impacts for people and nature directly on the ground.

Between 2017 and 2025, we visited over 14,000 cocoa farms across 5 countries, interviewing thousands of cocoa farmers along the way. We collected data on general farm characteristics, good agricultural practices (GAPs), regenerative agriculture practices, income of cocoa farming families, and other Nestlé Cocoa Plan priorities.

Some of the trends we observed include:

• Improved good agricultural practice (GAP) adoption in Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana.
• Farmers across origins have a strong foundation on which to build regenerative agriculture practices.
