Swiss cocoa farmers

Swiss cocoa farmers are agricultural producers in Switzerland who cultivate cocoa beans, essential for making chocolate. While Switzerland is renowned for its chocolate production, it does not have a large domestic cocoa farming industry due to its climate being unsuitable for cocoa tree growth. Most Swiss cocoa is imported from countries with ideal growing conditions, primarily in West Africa. Swiss companies often focus on ethical sourcing, ensuring that farmers receive fair prices and that the environmental impact of cocoa farming is minimized. This commitment enhances the quality of Swiss chocolates and supports sustainable practices in the cocoa industry.
