CÉMOI: Promoting cocoa agroforestry in Côte d’Ivoire CÉMOI and Transparence Cacao In 2015, CÉMOI, a French chocolate manufacturer, launched the Transparence Cacao programme. The aim was to promote sustainability across the company’s supply chain, from farmer to consumer. Through Transparence Cacao, CÉMOI supports agroforestry in Côte d’Ivoire. The programme also supports agroforestry in its other cocoa origins; Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Peru and São Tomé and Príncipe (see Table 1). In Côte d’Ivoire, the Transparence Cacao programme is implemented together with 55,200 farmers, who are members of 92 cooperatives; they form CÉMOI’s entire supply chain in the country (Figure 1).
