Peru belongs to the most forested countries in the world, over half of Peru is covered in trees – and a large part of it is Amazonian tropical forest. No wonder Peru is in the top 10 of most biodiverse countries in the world. Unfortunately, deforestation and forest degradation are serious issues in Peru, caused by monoculture farming, mining, road construction and illegal logging. Because cacao grows in agroforestry, its cultivation gives farmers the opportunity to earn an income, while protecting forests and conserving biodiversity. Peru Ucayali cacao is organically produced and certified; no pesticides or chemical fertilizers are used. Peru Ucayali cacao is from Trinitario varieties. Its flavour profile is characterized by a balanced chocolaty body, low in acidity, with remarkable sweet notes of caramel and nuts and hints of fruity flavours. After manual picking the farmers bring the wet cacao beans to a central fermentation unit.

While the biodiversity is relatively intact in Colombia and Peru, it is highly threatened in Ecuador because of deforestation and monoculture farming. Garyth’s approach to cacao production is a shining example of how well nature and farming can live together in harmony. As a passionate and knowledgeable organic farmer, Thomas has introduced various natural systems to protect his trees and crops from diseases and to stimulate pollination and healthy growth of the cacao pods.

Sambirano Tsarafandray cacao is organic certified; no pesticides and only natural fertilizers are used in its production. Cacao trees grow under the canopy of indigenous shade trees together with mango, banana, vanilla, pineapple, peppers and other crops. Sustainable agroforestry systems like these form a buffer zone protecting Sambirano’s natural rainforests. This is much needed; over 40% of Madagascar’s forests have disappeared over the last 60 years and the remaining forests are fragmented. Deforestation and soil erosion are a major threat, reducing the ability of farmers to produce enough food. With the help of the Rainforest Alliance cocoa farmers in the Sambirano Valley plant new trees to battle soil erosion, protect remaining forest fragments and restore the natural landscape of the valley.
