What Transitions for a Fair and Sustainable Cocoa Supply and Value Chain?
The report showcases the fair trade movement’s contributions to the sustainability
of the cocoa sector. It is organized around three key topics that defined the sector’s discourse in
2024: the challenges of the delayed implementation of the European Union’s anti-deforestation
regulation, the impacts of unprecedented volatility in global cocoa prices, and strategies for the
ecological transition in cocoa farming. A fourth section provides an overview of fair trade cocoa
market dynamics in France.
This report offers insights and experiences from a range of stakeholders in fair trade cocoa
supply chains, from bean to bar. Contributors include members of the Cocoa Commission from
the Commerce Équitable France collective, along with insights from two West African partners.
