At ACM, our work is to understand the day-to-day realities of Africa’s cocoa markets, as well as the big picture of cocoa and chocolate across the continent, and beyond.

Our team is in the field, engaging with smallholder farmers, listening to and learning with them, and doing our best to see cocoa from their perspectives.

We also engage with value-add companies - processors of cocoa butter, liquor, and powder, craft chocolate makers and confectioners, multinational traders and brands, and entrepreneurs making innovative consumer and business products out of cocoa.

And we keep a close eye on international trade. We are constantly analyzing global supply and demand, market trends, the shifting landscape of compliance, and consumer responses to all of those.

We want to share our learnings with you.
