History[]
Divine Chocolates
Divine Chocolate claims to be the only chocolate company that is owned by its cocoa farmers. Fair-trade ensures that farmers receive fair income for what they produce. This ownership model gives the farmers a share of Divine's profits and strengthens their voice in the cocoa industry further.
Originally founded in the UK in 1998, Divine Chocolate was co-owned by the Kuapa Kokoo cocoa farmer co-operative, the NGO Twin Trading and The Body Shop. Body Shop later transferred their shares over to Kuapa Kokoo, increasing their share in the company to 45%.
