Projects

In collaboration with Rizek Cacao S.A.S., FUPAROCA has driven significant changes in the lives of cocoa producers and their communities. Through initiatives focused on education, sustainability, and community development, the Socio-Environmental Management Plan has generated tangible results that strengthen both the people and the environment.

Strengthening Producers' Capacities

In 2023, training has been the cornerstone for empowering producers. Over 2,900 people participated in workshops covering topics from advanced agricultural techniques to safe and sustainable labor practices. This has enabled them not only to improve their farms but also to preserve the environment while ensuring high-quality cocoa production.

Direct support to the farms

To ensure sustainability and improve productivity, FUPAROCA provides comprehensive support to producers. From plot renovation to the delivery of high-yield plants and tools, our actions have strengthened the agricultural potential of farms while promoting economic diversification.

Education and Integral Development

FUPAROCA bets on education as a tool to transform the future of communities. From university scholarships to school support in rural areas, we have worked to ensure that children and young people have access to the opportunities they need to grow.

Improvements in the communities

In addition to our work on the farms, we have directly impacted cocoa-growing communities with projects focused on potable water, rural entrepreneurship, and infrastructure improvements. These initiatives have strengthened overall well-being and social cohesion.

Environmental Conservation

Commitment to the environment is fundamental for FUPAROCA. In 2023, we carried out significant reforestation and waste management actions, ensuring the protection of local ecosystems and the sustainable development of communities.

Strategic Alliances

Through partnerships with the Duarte Cooperative, we have integrated over 800 producers into modern financial systems, promoting banking access and credit availability. These initiatives not only strengthen the economy of the communities but also enhance their ability to self-manage.
