Mars and OFI Collaborate to Achieve Net-Zero Cocoa Production in Ecuador
Mars, Incorporated and Olam Food Ingredients (OFI) have launched a five-year strategic partnership to advance climate-smart cocoa production in Ecuador. The initiative, running from 2025 to 2029, aims to scale regenerative agriculture practices across their cocoa supply chain, focusing on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving farm productivity. The program will initially support over 960 farmers in key cocoa-growing regions, transitioning from traditional monoculture systems to multistrata agroforestry models. These systems enhance biodiversity, improve soil health, and boost yields while providing natural pest and disease protection.
