Our primary focus is on Africa, particularly Ghana and Madagascar in the beginning. Additionally, we include a minor focus on Latin America, particularly Peru, to broaden our impact and leverage opportunities for innovation and knowledge exchange. As our strategy evolves, we may expand our geographic scope to include other countries.

Our geographic focus is shaped by factors such as past experience, cocoa production significance, the socio-economic needs of the local population, strong local partnerships, and regional security and stability.
