A cooperative rooted in Robert-Porte.
Founded in 2012 and export-licensed since 2021, COOP.CA-ECAPR brings together more than 1,500 farmers around a single origin. True to its cooperative model, it reinvests its revenue in its members and in the sustainable development of their territory, notably by building schools, keeping farmers’ children in education and backing initiatives with strong social impact.
Cocoa with a name and an origin.
COOP.CA-ECAPR brings together more than 1,500 growers around the village of Robert-Porte, 22 km from Soubré. From the family plot to the warehouse, we aggregate, check and export cocoa where every bag is linked to a farmer and a section.
ECA-PR is far more than a cocoa origin: it is a structured farmers’ organisation, licensed to export, that reinvests the value it creates in its members and in the sustainable development of its territory. Sourcing from ECA-PR means choosing a traceable, responsible and meaningful origin rather than an anonymous, undifferentiated lot.
Turning the cooperative into a real business.
