TESTIMONIES OF THE ALLIES OF THE AGREEMENT

“We have had more forest-intensive and less technology-intensive production and I think that's the challenge we have going forward”.

JOSÉ ITURRIOS

Alianza Cacao Perú

"The public sector is also committed to joining this initiative (the Agreement). Proof of this is that in this planning process for the development of the cocoa and chocolate value chains, the commitment to deforestation-free cocoa has been considered within the framework of the Cocoa, Forests and Diversity Agreement, which is already part of the National Action Plan for Cocoa and Chocolate Development”.

AUGUSTO APONT

Regional Director of Agriculture and Agroecology - Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation

"For cocoa producers, we believe that (the agreement) is in line with the global context, which is occurring in the sector and especially with the organic production standards and sustainable production standard".

ANAXIMANDRO ROJAS

President of the Association of Small Cocoa Producers - APPCACAO

"Sustainability for us is not a commercial issue; it is in the DNA of our companies. It must be immersed in the organizational culture of the export sector and in the productive culture of our cooperatives".
