Who
we are
We are a cooperative of more than 481 cocoa producers organized to create innovative opportunities that benefit communities and the environment through the production of aromatic cocoa for export.
History
Cacao Tocache was born in 1990 as a result of the organization of several producers in the San Martín region of Peru. Since then, it has been characterized by bringing together a large number of small farmers and indigenous producers, some of whom found in cocoa an alternative to the production of illicit crops, thus promoting a productive culture of peace with the communities and nature.
