Cameroon and Liechtenstein Partner to Boost Organic Cocoa Production
What happened
The Cameroonian government endorsed a new partnership between the Unité Moderne de Production de Cacao d’Excellence and Protect First AG, a Liechtenstein-based company, on October 19, 2026. This agreement operates under Cameroon’s CACAO BIO 1000 program and aims to promote organic cocoa production and strengthen access to international markets. Protect First AG plans to market the beans under Fair Trade certification, emphasizing transparent revenue distribution across the supply chain.
Why it matters
The partnership seeks to establish lasting commercial relationships among farmers, the cooperative, and international buyers, rather than relying on one-off transactions. The objective is to increase the commercial value of Cameroonian cocoa and improve the share of earnings reaching producers.
