About us

We have recognized the need for a transformative solution that empowers farmers, ensures fair compensation, and supports sustainable cocoa production. Our mission is to revolutionize the industry and uplift the lives of Cocoa farmers while contributing to a stronger and more resilient cocoa supply chain.

Developing Problems and the need for Abigrow

Cocoa Utility Companies in the Netherlands and Europe have long grappled with exorbitant prices for their cocoa supplies. This challenge has hindered growth, impacted profitability, and strained the industry's potential for innovation. As the global landscape shifts, the emergence of China as a superpower threatens the dominant position that the Netherlands once held in the cocoa industry.

One of the most pressing issues we have identified is the difficulty faced by Cocoa farmers in bringing their products to market at fair prices. Inadequate road infrastructure, coupled with pervasive poverty, has forced these hardworking farmers to rely on intermediaries known as "Produce Buyers."

Empowering Farmers, Eliminating Exploitation

At Abigrow, we are committed to breaking this cycle of exploitation. We understand that Cocoa farmers deserve fair compensation for their labor and dedication. Our innovative approach empowers farmers to connect directly with buyers, bypassing the Produce Buyers who have historically siphoned profits away from those who deserve them the most.

We provide a digital platform that bridges the gap between farmers and buyers, fostering a transparent and mutually beneficial relationship. By eradicating unnecessary intermediaries, we ensure that the hard-earned profits remain with the farmers, enabling them to improve their quality of life and provide better opportunities for their children.

Addressing Political Unrest and Instabilities

Political unrest in some Cocoa-producing areas has further exacerbated the challenges faced by farmers. Our platform not only supports economic stability but also acts as a tool for resilience in times of uncertainty. By providing farmers with direct access to a wider market, Abigrow contributes to a more robust supply chain that can weather the storm of political instability.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

At Abigrow, we understand that the well-being of Cocoa farmers is intricately linked to the sustainability of cocoa production. As part of our commitment to a greener future, we actively promote sustainable farming practices that protect the environment and preserve the livelihoods of future generations.
