Öko Caribe
When Ariano and Gualberto founded Öko Caribe in 2006, they had one goal: raising the standard of quality cocoa combined with good ethics. With the knowledge they had built over many years of working with cocoa, they went all other ways than mainstream. Öko Caribe creates a sustainable environment for many of the smallholder farmers in the region. From the village Pimentel in San Francisco de Macoris, they are collaborating with 180 farmers.
