Ethical chocolate from the heart of Africa. Formed in in 2016, Latitude Chocolate Company is on a mission to create a chocolate industry in Uganda. In the shadow of the Rwenzori mountains, Latitude Trade Co started a centralised fermentary and drying operation to increase the value chain for local farmers. They are now working with 1500 local plantations who have been vetted for safe and ethical and organic practices - running a quality post-harvest production they are able to sell the dried beans for a premium and feed that money back to the farmers through pricing way above the market rates.
