Sustainably Grown, Community-Driven
Sourced from over a thousand organic smallholder farmers – 52% of whom are women – in Bundibugyo, Western Uganda, Semuliki Forest cacao embodies a deep-rooted community connection. Farmers hand-deliver fresh cacao weekly to rural collection points established by Latitude Trade Co., receiving fair, immediate payment for their harvest.

Expert Fermentation & Drying for Superior Quality
