Divine Chocolate, the fair trade chocolate company owned by cocoa farmers, is once again putting together an exciting programme for Fairtrade Fortnight, which this year runs from Monday 27th February to Sunday 11th March 2012. Two cocoa farmers from Kuapa Kokoo Co-operative in Ghana will be joining Divine Chocolate on tour. Divine’s theme for this year’s tour is NNOBOA – the word Kuapa Kokoo farmers use meaning ‘working together’.
Elias Mohammed and Agnes Armah will be travelling to the UK to meet with consumers and coming to Dunbar’s Crunchy Carrot on 7th March. They will be sharing their views on Fairtrade and what it’s like to belong to a co-operative, as well as talking on life as a cocoa farmer and what owning a chocolate company actually means to them and their community. 43 year old Agnes is a cocoa farmer and owns a 10 acre farm in the Western region of Ghana. 55 year old Elias is also a cocoa farmer as well as a recorder and has been voted on to the National Executive Committee.
