Regenerative Eco Cacao, Ecuador
Cecao is based in Guayaquil, Ecuador, with operations across south central Ecuador through their 10 community-based member associations that comprise a network of over 1,800 producers.

Through the Cecao foundation, all associations receive technical assistance and additional services. Cecao works closely with its producer network to focus on productivity of farms, quality of post-harvest, and intercropping of other fruit species for ecological and economic diversity. Cecao is committed to paying farmers fair prices, improving cacao productivity, maintaining high quality and consistency, at high volumes.

Each association has their own managers who are responsible for traceability, producer network and relations, buying, and post harvest. Each association has its own centralised fermentation and drying facility that processes all of the producer network’s cacao in that region. Cecao pre-finances 100% of the associations, which provides the working capital that the associations use to buy from producers. in return, the associations sell exclusively to Cecao. There are 1,806 registered producers across the network, of which nearly 20% are women.
