Member and former president of cocoa producers’ association in Naranjito County, Guayas province

“We were not used to selling directly to exporters, and the exporters did not have much experience working with small cocoa producers. It has been a mutual learning process. Now we know how to sell our cocoa, and it is graded at a higher level. I like that all the producers of my community work together, so they also can receive a better price for their product.”
