The farmers' ownership stake in Divine Chocolate means that Kuapa Kokoo has a meaningful input into decisions about how Divine is produced and sold. Two representatives from Kuapa Kokoo are Directors on the company's Board, and one out of four Board Meetings every year is held in Ghana. As shareholders, the farmers also receive a share of the profits from the sale of Divine.
Additional owners include the Day Chocolate Company in the UK, Lutheran World Relief, and Oikocredit.
The story begins back in the early 1990's, when cocoa growers pooled resources to set up Kuapa Kokoo, a farmers' cooperative that would trade its own cocoa so it could get a better price on the market for the cocoa and could help them improve their lives.
Then, in 1997 at the annual cooperative meeting, the farmers decided to create a chocolate bar of their own, and with support from Twin Trading, Comic Relief, the Body Shop and Christian Aid, they set up The Day Chocolate Company.
