From 25 until the 27th of June, Enabel will be present at the World of Coffee (WOC) in Brussels. This event travels the world to gather the coffee community around innovation, inspiration and great coffee.
Enabel’s goal is to connect African cooperatives and businesses that provide traceable and high-quality coffee with European buyers.
The EU Due Diligence Navigator for Partner Countries is a new online platform from the European Commission that concretely helps stakeholders in partner countries prepare for the European Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD).
Enabel’s Trade for Development Centre met Ginette Kouamé, director of the Ecakoog agricultural cooperative, at the Chocoa trade fair. She shared her vision and the challenges faced by an organisation that, in less than 15 years, has become a major player in the cocoa industry in Côte d’Ivoire.
Created in 2019, the Cacao Okapi agricultural cooperative now brings together more than 400 producers and is gradually positioning itself as a credible player in sustainable specialty cocoa in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
During the Chocoa trade fair, we spoke with Gerald Bagonza from the Bwamba Cooperative Union (BCU) in Uganda about the challenges, successes and ambitions of this young cocoa producers’ union.
In the landscape of modern global commerce, Human Rights and Environmental Due Diligence (HREDD) has become a critical pillar for building resilient and responsible supply chains.
Yeyasso’s bold leap into fine flavour cocoa turns a small Ivorian village into the testing ground for a new kind of excellence—organic, meticulously fermented, and fully traceable. Their beans earned a 7.7/10 excellence score, hinting at a quiet revolution in Côte d’Ivoire’s cocoa landscape.
In Côte d’Ivoire, cocoa has historically been associated with large volumes of production (“bulk”) rather than the niche market for “specialty” quality. However, a real taste revolution is underway.
Enabel’s Trade for Development Centre (TDC) implements a multi-year support programme for agricultural producer organisations (POs) and SMEs in Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana but also in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Uganda. The programme operates through two complementary modalities that can be deployed independently or combined to suit each partner’s specific maturity and needs.
The European Parliament and Council have reached a provisional political agreement on the Omnibus l simplification package, making a pivotal shift in the EU’s corporate sustainability framework.
Driven by the new “Competitiveness Compass” and the Draghi Report’s call to unlock productivity, this agreement fundamentally alters the scope and obligations under the CSRD and CSDDD.
