GrowCocoa Information

Formalized as a joint venture in 2012 after a decade of collaboration and shared investment of over $25 million, GrowCocoa represents the sustainability interests of Blommer Chocolate Company, North America’s largest cocoa processor and ingredient chocolate supplier, and Olam International, a leading global agri-business supplier. Olam’s expansive origin networks and access to farmer associations teamed with Blommer’s strong customer relationships and reputation as a leading processor allows us to form new partnerships, develop new programs and expand our reach to meet the evolving needs of farmers and communities. Independently operated and headquartered in Washington, DC, our presence brings us closer to those who share our partners’ vision to strengthen cocoa-producing communities through inclusive and innovative approaches and alliances. We encourage public and private sector leaders and trendsetters to connect with us to explore partnerships that aim to realize sustainable and future-focused programs in Côte d’Ivoire and Indonesia.
