Original Beans’ Story:

As a trendsetting and responsible company, Original Beans does not want to outsource important controlling tasks - with respect to fair trade, farmer trainings and reforestation - to third parties. Original Beans’ cacao is produced in long-term partnerships with indigenous communities and small farmer cooperatives. 

With our cacao conservation leaders “on the ground”, we can guarantee full traceability and the implementation of our conservation principles. Original Beans is a member of the Direct Cacao Organization, which brings together bean-to-bar chocolate makers who buy quality fine cacao directly from farmers and pay much more for their cacao than the Fairtrade standard.

Original Beans’ Value Chains

To increase the value-add at farmer level, we source directly, at premium prices, ensuring a living income while supporting farmers in cacao growing matters like quality improvements, yield increase, and income diversification. For us, direct trade means sourcing directly at farmer or village level through a local partner. Next to long-term partnerships, the Original Beans field team has a direct connection to the farmer communities by working on the ground.
