The Cocoa Sector Traceability and Sustainability Application is a digital solution dedicated to ensuring transparency, sustainability and quality in the cocoa value chain. Designed for producers, cooperatives, processors, distributors, and consumers, it allows you to follow the journey of cocoa from its plantation to the finished product, while promoting sustainable and ethical practices.

Main objectives:
Complete traceability: Provide total visibility on the origin of cocoa beans, the processing stages, transport, and arrival at points of sale. Each batch of cocoa is labeled and tracked, making it easy to trace the producers and growing conditions.

Sustainability and ecological practices: Encourage and reward producers for sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural practices, such as agroforestry, reduced use of pesticides, and reforestation initiatives.

Improved working conditions: Guarantee fair working conditions for producers, with fair remuneration and reduction of the risks of child labor in the production chain.

Consumer engagement: Providing consumers with information on the origin of cocoa and associated practices, strengthening their trust and loyalty towards responsible brands.

Key Features:
Real-time tracking: Using blockchain technology for precise and immutable traceability of cocoa batches through every stage of the supply chain.

Certifications and standards: Integration of sustainability certifications such as fair trade, Rainforest Alliance, or BIO, allowing stakeholders to verify compliance with sustainability standards.

Sustainability reporting: Providing reports on CO₂ emissions, resource management, and environmental impact of production for in-depth analysis of green efforts.

Dashboards for producers and cooperatives: Visualization of data on harvests, sales, certifications obtained, and good agricultural practices.

Consumer portal: Consumers can scan a QR code on the products to find out the origin, journey, and certifications of the cocoa used.

Rewards for sustainable practices: Incentive system for farmers and cooperatives who adopt ecological methods, in the form of bonuses or points convertible into agricultural equipment.

Benefits for industry players:
Producers: Access to tools for recording agricultural practices, certifications, and information on fair sales prices, strengthening their economic security.
