Voices from the project

Our work

Antonio, Affoué, Kan Jules and Amoin Chantale. They are all part of the project PRO-PLANTEURS. Here, the participants introduce themselves and tell us about their experiences within the project. They also tell us what is particularly important to them.

PRO-PLANTEURS is a joint project of the German Initiative on Sustainable Cocoa (GISCO), the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL), the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the Ivorian Coffee-Cocoa Council (Conseil du Café-Cacao). After a successful first phase, a five-year follow-up phase began in June 2020.

Project PRO-PLANTEURS

“The PRO-PLANTEURS project has enabled each member of the cooperative society to know their role precisely and thus work independently and well-structured.”

Antonio N’Guessan

“The project has greatly helped us to draw attention to the importance of diversification and not to rely solely on cocoa.”

Affoué Brou Brou
