Divine Chocolate started in the early 1990s with changes in the cocoa market in Ghana prompting Nana Frimpong Abebrese to begin a farmer-owned company aiming to help farmers sell their own cocoa. To ensure the more benefits for cocoa farmers a new co-operative of farmers called Kuapa Kokoo<\/a> was established on Fairtrade principles<\/a>. The name Kuapa Kokoo means ‘good cocoa farmer’ in the local language of Twi. The Kuapa Kokoo co-operative started with a mission to ensure the welfare of its farmer members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting with a membership of 2000 farmers from 22 villages, it was soon certified to sell Fairtrade cocoa which would bring a social premium enabling them to invest in their farms, communities and future. From then Kuapa Kokoo and Twin Trading launched The Day Chocolate Company in the UK with support from a range of businesses and charities. The Divine brand name is created with the first “Divine Fairtrade Milk Chocolate” bar on the shelves of UK shops. in 2007 Day Chocolate changes it’s name to Divine Chocolate along with a brand new design to better communicate its quality and unique credentials and signalling it’s Ghanaian ownership with the Adinkra symbols featuring on the wrappers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
