What does a better cacao trade look like?

Asking Ourselves What Better Trade Can Look Like

Transparent Trade is Raaka's commitment to direct purchasing, visible cacao pricing, and relationships that value the people who grow and ferment cacao.

Transparent pricing

We share what we pay for cacao so customers can understand how sourcing choices shape each bar.

Direct purchasing

Direct relationships create a clearer path between cacao producers, chocolate makers, and chocolate lovers.

Principle 01

Transparent pricing

Publishing what is paid for cacao makes the economics of each bar easier to understand.

Principle 02

Direct purchasing

Closer relationships create more room for feedback, quality and accountability.

Principle 03

Long-term relationships

Consistency can support better planning for both chocolate makers and cacao partners.
