We not only serve market needs, but also community and environmental needs. We incorporate the best farming practices which are and economical, and environmentally friendly. Our vision is to build a resilient cacao production and manufacturing system.. We meet these needs by ensuring the following;
SOLAR POWERED IRRIGATION
We use energy and natural resources responsibly by watering trees with a solar-powered “Futurepump SF2” which is a renewable source of energy. This pump is made in Indian factory that uses an ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management system.
TAKING A STAND AGAINST CHILD LABOUR
We also ensure responsible human resources by employing laborers that are 18 years and above. WE DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO WORK ON OUR FARMS.
SOIL FERTILITY ENHANCEMENT
Through the use of compost and animal manure, we produce cacao that is organic (free from chemicals and toxins) and rich in nutrients.
We also test soil regularly to keep up with the right acid levels. Enhancement of soil fertility also contributes to the production of quality cacao that has a competitive advantage in the market.
Cacao has very many health benefits but the use of inorganic fertilizers alters the final product which becomes dangerous to the consumer. We are here to ensure the world gets quality original product and value for their money.
WATER QUALITY MAINTAINANCE
The cacao trees also known as Theobroma cacao are important water catchment amenities. They slow down rainfall and this prevents soil erosion and flooding. Cacao trees moreover collect and filter rainfall and slowly release it to the streams and rivers and this improves the quality of water consumed by the community. This also prevents diseases caused by the consumption of dirty water such as cholera and flood water such as bilharzia and malaria.
BIODIVERSITY MAINTAINANCE
Our cacao trees retain a complex canopy when grown which is significant in biodiversity. It acts as a habitat for plants and animals such as birds and ants. Which in return are sources of drugs and biological pest control agents. They also clean the air by taking in carbon dioxide.
REGIONAL ECOLOGICAL BALANCE PRESERVATION
By integrating organic cocoa farming practices we enhance environmental and ecological benefits. The cacao canopy inhibits the growth of weeds hence reducing the need to use chemical herbicides that are harmful to not only humans but also plants and animals in these environments.
