Why Choco-Revo started ?

Cacao, the Main Ingredient of Chocolate-The vast majority of the cacao imported into Japan comes from the West Africa.
In 2001, BBC and the world main media reported about the child labor problems in this sector in West African… The Bitter Reality behind Chocolate.
Forest conservation in the cacao production region, the protection of biodiversity, and symbiosis with the local people are important problems also.

On the other hand, people have begun to pay attention to fair trade and so on which helps farmers work healthily and safely and guarantees fair compensation continuously in the medium-to-long-term.
Some cacao beans were cultivated by earth-friendly farming methods including coexistence with forest trees and organic methods. Such cacao beans have been begun to be distributed in stages.

Choco-Revo follows the idea that the cacao beans cultivated by sustainable methods as above should more prevail to change the bitter reality that cacao farmers are being faced.
