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, and reinvests its revenue in its members, their children and their forest.
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.
This is not an anonymous brand. It is a structured farmers’ organisation, licensed to export, that reinvests its revenue in its members, their children and their forest. Sourcing from ECA-PR means buying a readable origin, not an indistinct lot.
Turning the cooperative into a real business.
“I am Sawadogo Abdoul Wahab, Chairman of the Cooperative Society with Board of Directors of the Eco-Farmers and Producers of Robert-Porte, COOP.CA-ECAPR.
Founded in 2012, our cooperative then had 540 members. Today it brings together more than 1,500 active members, certified Rainforest Alliance and Fairtrade. As chairman, I rely on six board members with whom I work in complete harmony.”
