And remember, cocoa is one of the main ingredients in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/lactualite-de-kaoka\/quelle-est-la-composition-du-chocolat\/\">chocolate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Cocoa is affected by deforestation because it is grown in tropical areas and in countries where the forests were, until now, little protected. At the same time, the growing demand for chocolate in Western countries has encouraged the felling of forest plots for cocoa plantations.<\/p>\n<p>It is estimated that the development of cocoa farming has led to <strong>the deforestation of around 2.5 million hectares<\/strong> since the early 1990s, in the 4 main cocoa-producing countries: C\u00f4te d&#8217;Ivoire, Ghana, Indonesia and Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: Cocoa certification and the fight against deforestation &#8211; CIRAD February 2021<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Cocoa and pioneer fronts<\/h2>\n<p>Like many other crops, cocoa farming has developed along pioneering front lines.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13731\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/schema-front-pionnier-cacao.jpg\" alt=\"Diagram of a pioneer front\" width=\"768\" height=\"231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/schema-front-pionnier-cacao.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/schema-front-pionnier-cacao-600x180.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/schema-front-pionnier-cacao-300x90.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/schema-front-pionnier-cacao-112x34.jpg 112w, https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/schema-front-pionnier-cacao-270x81.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This phenomenon of pioneering conquest of tropical forests is unfortunately exacerbated by the falling productivity of existing plantations and the resulting low remuneration of growers.<\/p>\n<p>This is a vicious circle, because once the forest is felled, the soil on this bare land rapidly becomes impoverished. The soil is a reserve of resources and nutrients that is essential for trees and their development. In poor soil, the trees health and growing are impacted and the plantation becomes less productive. Without sufficient harvests, growers are forced to extend their cultivation areas into forested areas. And so on, the forest is degraded or felled until it disappears completely.<\/p>\n<h2>The introduction of a European regulation<\/h2>\n<p>Faced with the challenge of preserving forests in the fight against climate change, the European Union has adopted a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/en\/lactualite-de-kaoka\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-eu-regulation-on-zero-imported-deforestation\/\">new regulatory text<\/a> which, from January 2025, will ban the sale on the European market of products (cocoa, coffee, palm, wood, beef, soya, rubber) which have caused the deforestation of forests after 31 December 2020.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"engagements-kaoka\">Kaoka, the chocolate truly committed against deforestation<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13707\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/cacaoyer-producteurs-de-dos-perou.jpg\" alt=\"A cocoa tree and growers in Peru\" width=\"1200\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/cacaoyer-producteurs-de-dos-perou.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/cacaoyer-producteurs-de-dos-perou-600x267.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/cacaoyer-producteurs-de-dos-perou-300x134.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/cacaoyer-producteurs-de-dos-perou-768x342.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/cacaoyer-producteurs-de-dos-perou-112x50.jpg 112w, https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/cacaoyer-producteurs-de-dos-perou-270x120.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At Kaoka, we&#8217;ve been taking the issue of deforestation very seriously for many years.<\/p>\n<p>We know that behind the phenomenon of deforestation lies an economic necessity: <strong>the forests are cut down to enable people to grow crops and thus earn a living.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/en\/kaoka\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our integrated cocoa supply chain structure<\/a>, our proximity to producers means that we are aware of the problems in producing countries much more quickly and much earlier.
