JOSIANE KWENDA Country Manager for Côte d’Ivoire, IFC
THIERRY BOURVIS General Manager, Sucden Group
“IFC’s support to Sucden is promoting the competitiveness of the cocoa industry in Côte d’Ivoire. It is supporting the country’s efforts to enhance sustain- able cocoa farming, thus helping it capture a greater share of value addition and so improve farmers’ incomes.”
“Thanks to the support of the OPEC Fund, IFC and other development finance insti- tutions, Sucden is leveraging its sustaina- bility programs with cocoa farmers. This positively impacts cocoa quality and the efficiency and effectiveness of cocoa production through the sharing of agri- cultural best practices and the supply of sustainable and traceable cocoa. Overall, these outcomes will help to promote the sustainability and competitiveness of the cocoa sector in Côte d’Ivoire.”
From farm to factory, cocoa is the key ingredient for millions of smallholder farmers across Africa
