CACAO, S.A DE C.V

ECOM operates in more than 40 major producing countries, working with thousands of farmers and local businesses. We employ more than a thousand agronomists and field staff globally, running innovative, on-the-ground operations and sustainability programmes to help our customers and farming communities worldwide.

Our global presence, unparalleled experience and strong, trusted relationships allow us to create a valuable and profitable environment for our suppliers, customers, shareholders and employees.

For more than 170 years, ECOM has been helping secure the long-term future of coffee, cocoa and cotton. With our pioneering, creative spirit and unique on-the-ground resources, we help farmers around the world adopt climate-smart growing methods that improve their livelihoods and protect and regenerate nature. Through our transparent, responsible supply chains, we deliver the products and solutions our customers need.

We are committed to responsible leadership in the soft commodities industry.

Our global operations rely on our wide footprint in local markets, our extensive knowledge of supply chain and risk management, farmer friendly procurement, and client-focused distribution to create a valuable and profitable environment for all our stakeholders.

ECOM has three core commodities - coffee, cocoa and cotton - but also participates in other growing agricultural product markets. Operating in more than 40 countries, we work with thousands of farmers and local businesses as an origin-integrated company, and we have our own traceable, sustainable, and client-specific supply chains.

We procure commodities directly from the farmer, provide primary processing, logistics and risk management services and sell to branded product manufacturers.

Thanks to our pioneering, innovative spirit, ECOM was an early adopter of certification and an advocate of farm-level support. We have spent nearly two decades embedding sustainable, ethical practices into our coffee, cocoa, and cotton supply chains worldwide.

As the impacts of climate change become more evident and the role of business in protecting human rights becomes ever more vital, we are accelerating our efforts.
