Support Emkao Foods:
Sustainably Transporting Premium Cacao from Africa to Canada

At Emkao Foods, we take pride in producing high-quality cacao ingredients while staying committed to ethical and sustainable practices. Our operations are rooted in the 100-hectare Kotou Family Farm in the Méfou-et-Afama Aba region of Cameroon, where three generations have refined the art of cacao farming. With UTZ certification, we ensure sustainable agriculture, fair wages, and employment for 80-100 local farmers each harvest season, providing training, salaries, and benefits to support the community.

Our premium product line, including:

  • Rokao (roasted raw beans),
  • Huskao (winnowed cacao husks),
  • Nikao (cacao nibs),
  • Likao (cacao liquor),
  • Pokao (cacao powder),
  • Bukao (cacao butter),
  • Chokao (vegan dark chocolate chips), and
  • Bakao (70% dark chocolate bar),

highlights our dedication to purity and quality without additives or sugar.

We are launching this crowdfunding campaign to raise $50,000 to purchase a modern shipment container that will help us transport our cacao beans from Africa to Canada. This container will:

  • Enhance supply chain efficiency  by ensuring reliable and timely logistics during the cacao harvesting season (September to January).
  • Preserve product quality with better temperature and humidity control during transit, directly impacting the final product.
  • Align with our sustainability goals by incorporating eco-friendly features like energy-efficient cooling systems, reducing the carbon footprint of our shipping logistics.

This investment is vital to our mission of delivering premium cacao ingredients while staying true to our values of sustainability and ethical practices. By supporting this campaign, you’re not just helping us improve logistics – you’re joining our movement to redefine transparency and responsibility in the chocolate industry!

Thank you for believing in our vision and supporting Emkao Foods!
