AgroEmprende Cacao selected as one of the 50 best in the world

The Colombian cocoa sample from the Agroguamal Association of the municipality of Guamal in the Department of Meta, belonging to the Workakao cooperative of the #AgroemprendeCacao project, was selected by a panel of experts from the international Cocoa Of Excellence competition as one of the 50 best in the world during the Paris Chocolate Salon in France, the most prestigious cocoa event worldwide.

This recognition is the result of more than eight years of efforts and collaborative work from the strategic alliance formed by Repsol, the Embassy of Canada to Colombia | Ambassade du Canada en Colombie | Embajada de Canadá en Colombia, Ecopetrol, and implemented by SOCODEVI Colombia, within the framework of the AGROEMPREDE CACAO project that benefits more than 1000 cocoa farming families in Meta, who have consolidated their productivity and standardized the quality in their crops.

This is a tangible example that alliances are the ideal way to continue contributing to the progress of communities and achieving the # Sustainable Development Goals.

We congratulate Leonel Murillo from the Agroguamal Association who, together with the National Federation of Cocoa Producers, prepared the selected sample.
