\r\n\r\nWhy can cocoa be a source of deforestation ?<\/h2>\r\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/le-cacao-responsable-deforestation.jpg\")
\r\n\r\nFirst of all, a little background: how can chocolate be a vector for deforestation?\r\n\r\nThe main causes of deforestation are mining, agriculture and forestry. Worldwide, livestock and agricultural production are responsible for around 80% of deforestation.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nLike soya and palm oil, cocoa has been clearly identified as contributing to deforestation. And remember, cocoa is one of the main ingredients in chocolate<\/a>.\r\n\r\nCocoa 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.\r\n\r\nIt is estimated that the development of cocoa farming has led to the deforestation of around 2.5 million hectares<\/strong> since the early 1990s, in the 4 main cocoa-producing countries: C\u00f4te d'Ivoire, Ghana, Indonesia and Nigeria.\r\n\r\nSource: Cocoa certification and the fight against deforestation - CIRAD February 2021<\/em>\r\nCocoa and pioneer fronts<\/h2>\r\nLike many other crops, cocoa farming has developed along pioneering front lines.\r\n\r\n
![\"Diagram](\"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/schema-front-pionnier-cacao.jpg\")
\r\n\r\nThis phenomenon of pioneering conquest of tropical forests is unfortunately exacerbated by the falling productivity of existing plantations and the resulting low remuneration of growers.\r\n\r\nThis 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.\r\nThe introduction of a European regulation<\/h2>\r\nFaced with the challenge of preserving forests in the fight against climate change, the European Union has adopted a 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.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n \r\nKaoka, the chocolate truly committed against deforestation<\/h2>\r\n
![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/cacaoyer-producteurs-de-dos-perou.jpg\")
\r\n\r\nAt Kaoka, we've been taking the issue of deforestation very seriously for many years.\r\n\r\nWe know that behind the phenomenon of deforestation lies an economic necessity: the forests are cut down to enable people to grow crops and thus earn a living.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThanks to 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. What sets us apart is the strong link we have with producer cooperatives. We have been working exclusively with them for over 20 years. By integrating the cocoa programs into the heart of our company strategy, we are able to work together daily and set up long-term projects alongside them.\r\n\r\nWe are convinced that it is essential to support producers in sustaining their plantations and harvests in order to combat deforestation.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nAware of the importance of producer income, our support includes a number of strong guarantees:\r\n\r\n \t
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/garanties-kaoka-contre-la-deforestation-v2.jpg\")
For 30 years, Kaoka has supported growers with strong guarantees.[\/caption]\r\nAn 8.97 million euro project for zero deforestation cocoa<\/h2>\r\nIn parallel with this global support, Kaoka is carrying out other projects to introduce sustainable cocoa-growing methods to preserve biodiversity.\r\n\r\nIn 2021, we signed a public-private partnership for the conservation and regeneration of ecosystems, the protection of biodiversity and the promotion of truly sustainable agricultural practices within cocoa sectors in Peru, Colombia and Ecuador.\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\nHow does Kaoka ensure that its cocoa chains are not responsible for deforestation?<\/h2>\r\nTo guarantee that the cocoa in our chocolates is not responsible for deforestation<\/strong>, Kaoka has drawn up a stringent set of standards. Of course, these standards have been co-constructed with our producer organisations partners<\/strong>, with the support of agro-ecology research bodies. This document constitutes a system of guarantees which enables us to control various points throughout the cocoa production chain.\r\n
\r\n \t
Controlling traceability<\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nGathering information is a prerequisite for implementing a \"zero deforestation\" approach. In our integrated cocoa programs, all our producer partners are clearly identified. This identification is essential for the steps that follow.\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n \t
Risk analysis<\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nEach country or production area has a different context, with its own cultivation practices. At Kaoka, with the support of agroecology researchers, we have studied the risks in all the areas in which we operate.\r\n
\r\n \t
An essential tool: satellite images<\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nTo ensure that plantations do not expand to the detriment of forest areas, we have chosen to use satellite images<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nFirst of all, the perimeters of the edges of our grower partners' plots were delimited by GPS points and digitised.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_13087\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"1200\"]

\r\n\r\n \t
Implementation of mitigation measures<\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThe small producers, we work with, own their land, whether agricultural or forestry. They therefore have the right to develop them as they see fit, in compliance with the local regulations in force, of course. That's why raising awareness and training producers are at the heart of our 'zero deforestation' approach.\r\n\r\nThanks to agro-ecology researchers, we have been able to define the priority areas for conservation. Our ambition is to sign conservation agreements with producers. We are currently working on the offsets to these agreements. The aim of these management plans is to protect and enhance local forests while limiting the expansion of agricultural land.\r\n\r\nOur projects to support agroforestry, restore soil fertility and clear deforested areas are other ways of ensuring that cocoa is grown in a way that preserves the forest.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_13705\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"1200\"]

\r\nThe effects and consequences of deforestation<\/h2>\r\n
The impact of deforestation on greenhouse gas emissions<\/h3>\r\nFor over 30 years, deforestation has continued to increase, considerably reducing the planet's carbon storage capacity and contributing to the increase in CO2 in the atmosphere. This phenomenon is also accompanied by an increase in greenhouse gas emissions as the soil, now bare, releases some of the stored organic carbon.<\/strong> This dual consequence is exacerbating climate change. According to the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), deforestation is responsible for 11% of greenhouse gas emissions.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n

The combination of these phenomena weakens the forests and is at the root of the megafires we have seen in California, Australia, Chile and recently in Canada. These large-scale fires cause a massive release of CO2, which contributes to climate change. A veritable vicious circle...\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n \r\nDeforestation: a major cause of biodiversity loss<\/h3>\r\nThe deterioration of forests to make way for agricultural plots results in a net loss of biodiversity.<\/strong> The change in land use disrupts the natural habitats of many species, which see their territories shrink or disappear. Clearing forests also provides a gateway for new invasive species,<\/strong> upsetting the local ecosystem balance and causing the disappearance of local species.\r\n\r\nClimate change, exacerbated by deforestation and the destruction of natural environments, is also a major cause of biodiversity loss.<\/strong> In recent years, animal and plant species have been disappearing at an unprecedented rate, with serious consequences for the balance of the living world, of which we are a part. It's important to remember that our food supply is directly dependent on pollinating insect populations.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n[memo title=\"Biodiversity loss\" text=\"68% of vertebrate populations (mammals, fish, birds, reptiles and amphibians) disappeared between 1970 and 2016, in less than 50 years. \"]\r\n\r\nMore than half of the world's gross domestic product is based on ecosystems and the services they provide.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \r\n
Forest conservation: a major challenge for slowing the effects of climate change and biodiversity loss<\/h2>\r\n
The causes of deforestation: between production and consumption<\/h3>\r\nLivestock farming and agricultural production are the main causes of deforestation worldwide. The European Union plays a key role here, with the EU's share of imported deforestation estimated at 36% of total trade-related deforestation over the period 1990-2008.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n
![\"EU](\"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/EU-share-of-trade-related-deforestation-between-1990-and-2008-1200x535.jpg\")
\r\nImported deforestation: what is it?<\/h3>\r\nImported deforestation represents the direct or indirect deforestation caused by the production of raw materials or processed products outside the consumer's national territory.<\/strong>\r\nGlobal deforestation is mainly linked to agriculture, mining and logging (for construction, paper and timber). 75% of deforestation is caused by agriculture, mainly cattle, palm oil and soya production. Other crops such as rice, cocoa and sugar cause forest degradation.\r\n\r\n
![\"Agriculture](\"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Agriculture-causes-75-of-deforestation-1200x770.jpg\")
\r\nWhy is cocoa responsible for deforestation?<\/h3>\r\nLike many crops, cocoa has developed along a pioneering front:<\/strong> Forests are cut down or degraded to make way for cocoa plantations.<\/strong> Faced with growing world demand for cocoa, West Africa - the first and main production area - has been the scene of this process of migration and pioneering conquest of tropical forests.\r\n\r\n[memo title=\"Did you know about this?\" text=\"It is estimated that cocoa farming has led to the deforestation of around 2.5 million hectares since the early 1990s in the 4 main cocoa-producing countries.\"]\r\n\r\n \r\n
A European regulation against deforestation and forest degradation<\/h2>\r\nIntroduced by the European Commission, this European regulation will prohibit the placing on the market or export from the European market of products that have contributed to deforestation or forest degradation after 31 December 2020.<\/strong>\r\n
Raw materials affected by this regulation<\/h3>\r\nEntered into force on 30 June 2023, this regulation covers 7 consumer goods: coffee, cocoa, rubber, palm oil, soya, beef and timber, as well as their by-products<\/strong> such as leather, charcoal, printed paper and chocolate.\r\n\r\n
![\"Diagram](\"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/products-prohibited-deforestation-import-regulation-european-union-1200x744.jpg\")
\r\n\r\nIt is important to note that there will be no national transposition: this means that the regulation will be applied in the same way throughout Europe. Providing for a transition period of 18 months to give the stakeholders and operators concerned time to comply, it will come into force on 30 December 2024.<\/strong>\r\n<\/h3>\r\n
An essential definition of the forest<\/h3>\r\nTo determine whether deforestation is taking place, we need to agree on what defines a forest. The regulation is based on the FAO definition (\"Global Forest Resources Assessment. Terms and definitions FRA 2020<\/em>\" ) of forest as land larger than 0.5 hectares with trees higher than 5 metres and a canopy cover of more than 10%<\/strong>, or trees capable of reaching these thresholds in situ. It does not include land that is mainly used for agricultural or urban purposes.\r\n\r\n
![\"Diagram](\"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/definition-forest-fao-1200x634.jpg\")
\r\n\r\n \r\nA duty of due diligence<\/h3>\r\nBefore their products are exported or placed on the market, the companies affected by the application of the regulation (operators and traders) will be obliged to carry out \"due diligence\" in order to provide sufficient information to prove that the product involves no or negligible risk of deforestation.<\/strong> They will therefore need to geolocate the origin of the product or raw material at plot level.\r\n\r\nGeolocation, as defined by the regulations, is the location of a parcel of land described using latitude and longitude coordinates. For parcels larger than 4 ha, the geographical location must be provided using polygons describing the perimeter of each parcel.\r\n\r\nA system for classifying countries according to the risks associated with deforestation will be published over the next 18 months. Operators will then have to adopt appropriate procedures and measures to deal with the potential risks identified.\r\n\r\nTo ensure that it is applied, a national competent authority will be appointed by the end of 2023.\r\n\r\n[Nous mettrons \u00e0 jour cet article d\u00e8s que les informations relatives seront disponibles.]<\/em>\r\n\r\n \r\n
Zero deforestation certification: does it exist?<\/h3>\r\nToday, while some certifications (such as Fair for Life) include deforestation as a KO criterion (meaning that if the independent auditing body identifies deforestation, the operator loses its certification), there are no zero-deforestation certifications, strictly speaking.\r\n\r\nAlso, the European regulation against imported deforestation does not recognise any certification that would allow the operator to replace its responsibility.<\/strong> However, certification systems can be used during risk assessment to provide additional information on compliance with the requirements set out in the regulation.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n

With the support of the French Global Environment Facility (Fonds Fran\u00e7ais pour l'Environnement Mondial) and agroecology research bodies, Kaoka intends to demonstrate the effectiveness of its cultivation model and its ability to be replicated. A revolution that the cocoa industry must lead! \"]\r\nTo find out more about this project, we invite you to read this article on Kaoka's commitment to zero deforestation cocoa.<\/a>\r\n
Mapping and digitising producers' plots to ensure landscape conservation<\/h3>\r\nKaoka's strength lies in the integration of cocoa programs into its strategy and operations.<\/strong> Thanks to our close links with producer organisations, all the producers we work with are clearly identified.<\/strong> So we had beginning by geolocating each of our partner producers' plots with a GPS point.\r\nThen the edges of these plots were then trimmed and digitised, including plantations of less than 4 hectares.\r\n\r\n

\r\nThe only way to ensure forest conservation: satellite images<\/h3>\r\nThe polygons of the producers' plots are superimposed on satellite images of the forest areas. This enables us to check that the plantations of our producer partners do not expand over time to the detriment of the forests.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_14828\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"1200\"]

Kaoka's actions to guarantee zero deforestation cocoa[\/caption]\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nHere is the current status of this project in each of our sectors (February 2024 datas<\/em>):\r\n\r\n\u2013 Ecuador: 100% of plot perimeters georeferenced\r\n\u2013 S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9: 100% of plot perimeters georeferenced\r\n\u2013 Peru: 100% of plot perimeters georeferenced\r\n\u2013 Dominican Republic: 100% of plot perimeters georeferenced\r\n\r\nSince the end of 2023, Kaoka has achieved its objective of having 100% of the borders of its plots georeferenced, one year before the implementation of the European regulation to combat imported deforestation.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nHowever, it is important to remember 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. This requires the cocoa and chocolate industry to make an active commitment with viable solutions to support producers.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nAware of the importance of producers' incomes, Kaoka has been supporting producers for over 30 years with strong guarantees: 100% purchase of their harvest to ensure an outlet, a purchase price higher than the market price, and the implementation of renovation programmes to restore their plantations and improve their harvests year after year.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/h3>\r\n
Signing forest conservation agreements with producers<\/h3>\r\nWe are currently working with producers and cooperatives to define management plans for their farms, which will lead to the signing of conservation agreements designed to protect and enhance the forests in their regions and limit the expansion of farms.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/h2>\r\n
Kaoka, your sustainable cocoa\/chocolate supplier<\/h2>\r\nChoosing Kaoka as a supplier means securing cocoa supplies that meet the highest standards in terms of sustainability and CSR. This is your guarantee that your cocoa or chocolate raw material is not responsible for deforestation. It means reassuring your own customers with a 'clean' product that respects people and the environment.\r\n\r\nIn Kaoka\u00ae chocolates, the cocoa paste and cocoa butter are made exclusively from cocoa beans from its own integrated, certified organic and Fair Trade cocoa programs.<\/a>\r\n\r\nHere you can find all Kaoka\u00ae products for professional use.<\/a>\r\n\r\n

<\/h3>\r\nUn chocolat bio, est-ce que c\u2019est meilleur en go\u00fbt ?<\/h3>\r\nIl ne faut pas tout confondre ! Un label bio garantit une culture sans produits chimiques de synth\u00e8se, et pr\u00e9serve l\u2019environnement, les sols et la biodiversit\u00e9. Il est donc meilleur pour la sant\u00e9 de la plan\u00e8te et des hommes.<\/strong> Pour Kaoka, un cacao bio ne donne pas forc\u00e9ment un bon chocolat ! Pour fabriquer un chocolat de qualit\u00e9, cela n\u00e9cessite un vrai savoir-faire.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n1. La s\u00e9lection des terroirs et des vari\u00e9t\u00e9s de cacao cultiv\u00e9es<\/strong>\r\n\r\nKaoka travaille en partenariat avec des producteurs qui cultivent des vari\u00e9t\u00e9s traditionnelles, \u00e0 haut potentiel aromatique. Par exemple en \u00c9quateur, Kaoka a mis en place un important projet de sauvegarde du cacao Nacional, une vari\u00e9t\u00e9 d\u2019exception end\u00e9mique, qui se distingue pour ses qualit\u00e9s aromatiques uniques et qui \u00e9tait alors menac\u00e9e.\r\n\r\n2. La ma\u00eetrise de la fermentation (comme pour le vin) et du s\u00e9chage<\/strong>\r\n\r\nDepuis la r\u00e9colte jusqu'\u00e0 l'exportation, Kaoka a tout organis\u00e9 pour le cacao soit valoris\u00e9 dans les meilleures conditions. La fermentation est une \u00e9tape cruciale dans le d\u00e9veloppement des ar\u00f4mes du cacao. Kaoka a \u00e9tabli un protocole pr\u00e9cis pour obtenir les meilleurs ar\u00f4mes possibles.\r\n\r\n3. La recette<\/strong>\r\n\r\nKaoka a fait le choix de valoriser les ar\u00f4mes naturels du cacao avec des recettes riches en p\u00e2tes de cacao. Le beurre de cacao n'est ajout\u00e9 que pour ajouter une touche de fondant sans risquer de voiler le palais. Le sucre est justement dos\u00e9.\r\n\r\nKaoka a choisi de construire ses propres fili\u00e8res et de travailler en direct avec les producteurs pour ma\u00eetriser chacune de ces \u00e9tapes et ne rien laisser au hasard.\r\n\r\n

\r\nUn chocolat bio est-il forc\u00e9ment \u00e9quitable ?<\/h3>\r\nDans un monde id\u00e9al, la r\u00e9ponse devrait \u00eatre oui ! Prendre soin de l'environnement sans prendre soin des hommes et des femmes qui cultivent le cacao, a-t-il vraiment du sens?\r\n\r\nPour Kaoka, l'un ne va pas sans l'autre. Pour Kaoka, le choix de la bio s\u2019inscrit dans une d\u00e9marche vertueuse pour tous : une agriculture respectueuse de l\u2019environnement, une agriculture r\u00e9mun\u00e9ratrice pour le producteur et des produits \u00e9thiques de qualit\u00e9 pour les consommateurs. Forte de ses 30 ans d\u2019exp\u00e9rience, l'entreprise a prouv\u00e9 qu'il \u00e9tait possible de b\u00e2tir un mod\u00e8le durable tant pour la plan\u00e8te que pour les hommes.\r\n\r\nEn s'appuyant sur l'\u00e9change et sur des relations fid\u00e8les et durables avec les cacaoculteurs, Kaoka a repens\u00e9 le mod\u00e8le agricole en proposant des solutions agronomiques pertinentes aux cacaoculteurs. Les projets mis en place depuis de nombreuses ann\u00e9es permettent une am\u00e9lioration des rendements, b\u00e9n\u00e9fique tant pour les producteurs que pour Kaoka. Coupl\u00e9e \u00e0 un prix sup\u00e9rieur \u00e0 celui du march\u00e9, leurs producteurs partenaires voient leurs revenus s'am\u00e9liorer d'ann\u00e9e en ann\u00e9e.\r\n\r\nC'est cette vision du commerce \u00e9quitable que Kaoka d\u00e9fend et qui permet de r\u00e9duire les in\u00e9galit\u00e9s sociales et les impacts environnementaux n\u00e9gatifs engendr\u00e9s par le commerce conventionnel.\r\n\r\n \r\n
Si mon chocolat est bio, est-ce qu\u2019il pr\u00e9serve l\u2019environnement ?<\/h3>\r\nUn chocolat bio pr\u00e9serve l'environnement dans le sens o\u00f9 son mode de production agricole n'utilise ni engrais chimique de synth\u00e8se, ni pesticide, ni herbicide chimique, ni fertilisant artificiel ou hormone de croissance et ni OGM. Vous avez sans doute vu \u00e0 la t\u00e9l\u00e9 ou dans les m\u00e9dias que la culture du cacao participe \u00e0 la d\u00e9forestation? En effet, dans certaines zones du monde, c\u2019est le cas, et la certification bio ne garantit pas, h\u00e9las, une absence de d\u00e9forestation. Or, nous connaissons tous les impacts n\u00e9fastes de la d\u00e9forestation sur l'environnement.\r\n
Zoom sur la lutte contre la d\u00e9forestation men\u00e9e par Kaoka<\/h4>\r\nAu P\u00e9rou, en Colombie et en \u00c9quateur, depuis les ann\u00e9es 90, les \u00e9cosyst\u00e8mes forestiers locaux disparaissent face \u00e0 l\u2019expansion rapide des terres \u00e0 usage agricole. Appauvris par la d\u00e9forestation et la culture intensive, les sols deviennent improductifs et ne permettent plus d'assurer des revenus suffisants.\r\n\r\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Lutte-contre-deforestation-cacao-1200x556.jpg\")
\r\n\r\nChez Kaoka, la bio appartient \u00e0 une d\u00e9marche globale. Nous avons nos propres fili\u00e8res et travaillons de mani\u00e8re rapproch\u00e9e avec les producteurs. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 cette proximit\u00e9, nous les sensibilisons sur les questions de d\u00e9forestation et surtout nous leur apportons des solutions concr\u00e8tes pour qu'ils puissent am\u00e9liorer leurs revenus sans avoir \u00e0 sacrifier leurs for\u00eats pour de la production agricole. Nous leur donnons acc\u00e8s \u00e0 des p\u00e9pini\u00e8res de plants de cacao r\u00e9sistants et productifs, nous les accompagnons dans la restauration de leurs sols, nous mettons en place des syst\u00e8mes agroforestiers performants. Parce que nous avons des engagements forts avec nos partenaires producteurs, ils sont pr\u00eats \u00e0 s'engager de leur c\u00f4t\u00e9 en signant des accords de conservation des for\u00eats. C'est l'ensemble de cette d\u00e9marche qui permet \u00e0 Kaoka de garantir des chocolats z\u00e9ro d\u00e9forestation.\r\n\r\nQui plus est, la question de la d\u00e9forestation est un crit\u00e8re \"ko\" de la certification Fair for Life, v\u00e9rifi\u00e9 lors des audits annuels par Ecocert.\r\n\r\nL'observation des zones foresti\u00e8res est un v\u00e9ritable enjeu dans la lutte contre la d\u00e9forestation. Il permet de suivre leur \u00e9volution et d'assurer le maintien des for\u00eats. C'est pour cette raisons que nous avons g\u00e9or\u00e9f\u00e9renc\u00e9 l'ensemble des plantations (la digitalisation des polygones \u00e9tant en cours de finalisation) et au P\u00e9rou, nous sommes en train de mettre en place un suivi par t\u00e9l\u00e9d\u00e9tection du couvert v\u00e9g\u00e9tal.\r\n\r\nEn plus de cela, Kaoka m\u00e8ne d\u2019autres initiatives comme la cr\u00e9ation de corridors de biodiversit\u00e9 entre les zones de cultures, le reboisement des rives pour limiter l\u2019\u00e9rosion, la redensification des plantations.\r\n\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Chocolat-bio-pas-cher-kaoka-1200x556.jpg\")
\r\nLe chocolat bio et \u00e9thique, c\u2019est forc\u00e9ment plus cher ?<\/h3>\r\nLa question du prix est toujours complexe car elle d\u00e9pend de nombreux facteurs ! Pour faire simple, le prix d'un chocolat d\u00e9pend du prix de revient, de la marge du fabricant et de celle du distributeur\/magasin.\r\n\r\nKaoka a un prix de revient plus \u00e9lev\u00e9 puisque l'entreprise a fait le choix de mieux r\u00e9mun\u00e9rer les producteurs, et ainsi am\u00e9liorer leurs conditions de vie. Cependant, elle le compense par des marges raisonnables par souci de rendre le chocolat bio et \u00e9thique accessible \u00e0 un maximum de personnes.\r\n\r\nUn chocolat bio et \u00e9quitable, qui respecte tous les acteurs de la cha\u00eene, aura de plus grandes chances d'\u00eatre plus cher qu'un chocolat conventionnel.\r\n\r\nLe pouvoir d'achat permet de choisir le monde de demain. Acheter bio et \u00e9quitable est un acte solidaire.\r\n\r\n \r\n
Est-ce qu\u2019on peut \u00eatre s\u00fbr que le cacao bio l\u2019est vraiment ?<\/h3>\r\nUn cacao bio est un cacao qui r\u00e9pond \u00e0 des exigences strictes, encadr\u00e9es par la r\u00e9glementation europ\u00e9enne. Pour commercialiser du cacao ou du chocolat bio, tout op\u00e9rateur est contr\u00f4l\u00e9 par un organisme certificateur agr\u00e9\u00e9 par les pouvoirs publics.\r\n\r\nIl faut savoir que la r\u00e9glementation bio impose aux acteurs bio une obligation de moyens et non de r\u00e9sultats. En effet, les plantations des producteurs bio ne poussent pas sous une bulle. Si le producteur bio n'a pas recours \u00e0 certains intrants chimiques, des plantations environnantes peuvent les utiliser et risquer de contaminer la production bio, avec des traces de r\u00e9sidus chimiques.\r\n\r\nC'est pourquoi Kaoka a mis en place des mesures pr\u00e9ventives pour \u00e9viter le risque de contaminations crois\u00e9es : des haies v\u00e9g\u00e9talis\u00e9es sont implant\u00e9es pour faire barri\u00e8re, des \u00e9quipes de socio-techniciens sensibilisent les producteurs sur le sujet et apportent leur soutien technique, un r\u00e9seau de communication a \u00e9t\u00e9 mis en place pour informer et permettre la fermeture des s\u00e9choirs solaires lorsqu'un risque a \u00e9t\u00e9 rep\u00e9r\u00e9. De plus, les containers de cacao de Kaoka sont analys\u00e9s \u00e0 r\u00e9ception. Les lots de cacao qui ne r\u00e9pondent pas aux exigences sont d\u00e9class\u00e9s.\r\n\r\nConsommer bio est un acte militant. Pour r\u00e9sumer, plus nombreux seront les consommateurs qui choisiront de manger bio, moindre sera l'utilisation de produits chimiques dans le monde. En privil\u00e9giant la bio, l'environnement et la sant\u00e9 des humains seront de plus en plus prot\u00e9g\u00e9s.\r\n
Zoom sur les certifications<\/h4>\r\nLes chocolats Kaoka sont certifi\u00e9es biologiques par Ecocert et labellis\u00e9es \u00e9quitables par Biopartenaire selon le r\u00e9f\u00e9rentiel Fair For Life (FFL), contr\u00f4l\u00e9 par l\u2019organisme tiers Ecocert. Ces certifications constituent une garantie des actions de Kaoka au regard des consommateurs. Mais Kaoka va bien au-del\u00e0 de ces r\u00e9f\u00e9rentiels et porte encore plus loin ses engagements sur le terrain.","post_title":"5 id\u00e9es re\u00e7ues sur le cacao et le chocolat bio","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"5-idees-recues-sur-le-cacao-et-le-chocolat-bio","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-03-31 15:09:23","post_modified_gmt":"2026-03-31 15:09:23","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.kaoka.fr\/lactualite-de-kaoka\/\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2023-09-28 14:08:13","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-28 14:08:13","post_content":" \r\n\r\nVous avez loup\u00e9 les \u00e9pisodes pr\u00e9c\u00e9dents de notre mini s\u00e9rie ?

La fabrication par s\u00e9gr\u00e9gation<\/strong> versus la fabrication par Mass Balance<\/strong>. Pas d\u2019inqui\u00e9tude, on va tout vous expliquer !\r\n\r\nDans une fabrication par s\u00e9gr\u00e9gation, on utilise des f\u00e8ves de cacao certifi\u00e9es \u00e9quitables pour fabriquer du chocolat \u00e9quitable, de la p\u00e2te de cacao \u00e9quitable, du beurre de cacao \u00e9quitable et de la poudre de cacao \u00e9quitable. C\u2019est simple et logique.\r\n\r\nAvec le mass balance, les choses se compliquent.\r\n\r\nDans l\u2019atelier de fabrication, les f\u00e8ves de cacao \u00e9quitables et non \u00e9quitables sont m\u00e9lang\u00e9es<\/strong> pour fabriquer des produits certifi\u00e9s \u00e9quitables <\/strong>et des produits non \u00e9quitables<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nC\u2019est \u00e0 dire qu'un chocolat \u00e9quitable peut \u00eatre fabriqu\u00e9 \u00e0 partir de cacao non \u00e9quitable ?<\/strong> Oui, tout \u00e0 fait.\r\n\r\nCela est possible gr\u00e2ce au transfert de cr\u00e9dits \u00e9quitables. Par exemple, un transformateur qui ach\u00e8te 10 tonnes de cacao \u00e9quitable peut transf\u00e9rer les cr\u00e9dits \u00e9quitables pour vendre l\u2019\u00e9quivalent de 10 tonnes de produits cacao certifi\u00e9s \u00e9quitables. Il n\u2019y a pas besoin de s\u00e9parer les productions. C\u2019est plus simple, plus rapide et surtout plus rentable.\r\n\r\nUne seule exigence pour les transformateurs. Sur une ann\u00e9e, le volume des mati\u00e8res premi\u00e8res \u00e9quitables achet\u00e9es et le volume des produits certifi\u00e9s \u00e9quitables vendus doivent \u00eatre \u00e9quivalents. C\u2019est ce qu\u2019on appelle : le bilan de masse<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nVous allez nous dire \"Ok, donc dans mon chocolat \u00e9quitable il n\u2019y a pas que du cacao \u00e9quitable \u2026 Mais cela contribue quand m\u00eame au commerce \u00e9quitable, non ? \"\r\n\r\nDans un sens, oui.
