TechnoServe

In 2021, TechnoServe received $10,000 in funding towards its cacao farming project in Peru. TechnoServe’s 2022 activities will focus on improving the quality of beans through harvest and post-harvest management training, which is a pivotal requirement to guarantee that the hilled plants grow properly, resulting in plants that yield a greater harvest. The incorporation of all participants to the cacao value chain through the incorporation to an exporting company is also expected to be completed. To that aim, TechnoServe has secured an alliance with an exporting company ECOM, which has provided many opportunities to women joining the company (access to financing, tools, trainings, transports for harvest, bean quality measurement, etc.). However, the work will not end until 100% of producers have joined a formal market with export opportunities.
