Milk Chocolate
Togo - ORGANIC
38% cocoa content
The Felchlin chocolatiers in central Switzerland use cocoa from gebana Togo to produce first-class, confectionery-quality milk chocolate. It has a cocoa content of 38%. Thanks to the coin shape, the chocolate is easy to portion, whether as a snack or for a recipe.
Store the chocolate in a cool, dry place away from light – ideally in the cellar. Once opened, close the package with a clip or transfer the chocolate coins to an airtight container.
- Grown by 724 family farmers on an average of 1.5 ha in the Plateaux Region in Togo
- Organic, non-irrigated, manually harvested and sorted, sun dried, transport: by lorry from decentralised warehouses to Lomé, by ship to Rotterdam
- Purchasing from cooperatives and family farmers straight from the farm since 2000
- Potential for improvement: Increase prices for family farmers, centralise fermentation, facilitate access to organic pesticides, improve working conditions in the field

AFI REBECCA ELEBLUFARMER FROM ATIKOUTONYI, TOGO
The most fascinating thing about growing cocoa is getting the seeds to germinate.
Afi Rebecca Eleblu lives in Atikoutonyi, right next to the school. "It's very convenient because I have five children. Three of them are in school, and the other two are doing an apprenticeship." Eleblu grows cocoa for gebana on her 3 hectares of land. She also cultivates beans, plantains, ginger and corn. "They're for the local market. I have a passion for trade, and selling my products is what I like most about my job as a farmer. On the other hand, the lack of control over water causes us problems. We are afraid of droughts."
