The Dutch craft chocolate company Original Beans and the Peruvian cocoa trade association APPCACAO have partnered with nadar to ensure deforestation-free and EUDR-compliant cocoa sourcing in Peru.

Nadar's end-to-end EUDR software supports Original Beans and APPCACAO in mapping their cacao farms quicker and easier, knowing with confidence which farms have contributed to deforestation and gathering required due diligence information for EU authorities.

Nadar, Original Beans, and APPCACAO have partnered up in a collaboration with mutual goals:

  • Empowering smallholder farmers to gain access to digital traceability tools
  • Enabling 100% traceable and transparent cocoa sourcing
  • Ensuring deforestation-free and EUDR-compliant cocoa sourcing with confidence

Nadar's mobile mapping app supports Peruvian cacao producers in mapping the polygons of their farms to provide geolocation data for the EUDR

Original Beans

Since 2008, Original Beans has ventured into remote rainforests to source the world’s rarest and fairest cacao beans and transform the cultures of chocolate, food, and luxury. Today, they lead Europe's craft chocolate movement as a pioneer for regenerative business practices.

Their story of marrying chocolate and conservation may seem complicated but it’s actually quite simple. Original Beans makes some of the world’s best chocolate from the rarest & fairest cacao beans and preserves these beans and their forest environments for future chocolate lovers. They’ve won all the major taste awards, are a favorite of top chefs, and have streamlined every aspect of the business to be people and planet-positive.

Original Beans is a pioneer in sustainable cocoa:

  • supporting organically managed diverse agroforestry systems to produce climate+ chocolate
  • cacao Beans from the world’s best and best-paid cacao growers
  • rescue unique native cacao varieties

APPCACAO

APPCACAO is the national trade association that represents Peruvian cacao producers on national and international policy issues that are important to the cacao sector. We work with more than 30.0000 cacao-producing families to support the certification and sales of cacao to international markets and design capacity-building programs in cooperation with international partners.

"What makes Nadar so special is that the app is very easy to use in the field and that the platform focuses on the important data points and checks for EUDR compliance without overcomplicating things."
