Barry Callebaut AG (BYCBF.PK), a manufacturer of high-quality cocoa and chocolate, said it has begun training members of five farmer cooperatives in the Central region of Cameroon to enable them to become independently certified by Rainforest Alliance. Approximately 1,000 farmers will receive training in the next 12 months.
Barry Callebaut said its staff in Cameroon will deliver the training in Good Agricultural Practices and provide support in setting up internal control systems and improving administrative procedures at the cooperatives, with support of the Rainforest Alliance.
