MEET OUR PARTNERS
After 20 years of growing production, Ecuador has joined Brazil as the leading cocoa exporter in Latin America, positioning it self as the world leader in fine cocoa. The famed local variety Arriba Nacional, which is responsible for 60% of the country’s output, was awarded an Appellation of Origin in 2008. The small producers of the Unocace cooperative bring together families located in the province of Los Rios & Guayas in Ecuador, a province with a climate conducive to cocoa farming.
