What is Deforestation-Free Cocoa?
LOW CO2 EMISIONS
- restore degraded land- plant cocoa- earn a long-term livelihood - ensure food security

Using a carbon-asset-backed loan to protect forests and produce cocoa

PERÚMadre de Dios
The problem When forests are cut down, carbon absorption ceases and the carbon stored in leaves, branches, trunks, roots and soil is released into the atmosphere as CO2
(if wood is burned or left to rot).
The Althelia Climate Fund is participating in a USD 12 millioninvestment program in the Tambopata REDD+ Project in Madre de
Dios, Peru, which will empower 1,100 farmers to produce sustainable cocoa while protecting the biologically diverse
Tambopata National Reserve and Bahuaha-Sonene National Park.
It’s a ‘payment for performance’ model: farmers receive financing on the condition that they won’t deforest further,
will restore 4,000 hectares of degraded land in the buffer zone with cocoa-based agroforestry systems, and that a share
of revenues from cocoa sales will go to investors.
EVERY YEAR1,189 hectares of forest cover lost
The solution
+570,000 hectares
and aims to reach 1,100 farmers in 19 villages by 2018
The project protects 570,000 hectares of rainforest, ensuring that emissions of 4.5 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent are avoided by 2020
The Althelia Climate Fund has provided AIDER, a Peruvian non-governmental organization, with a first-of-its-kind carbon asset-backed loan. The loan of USD 7 million is fully collateralized by the project’s emission reduction units (carbon credits).
The project will work with farmers to gain Fairtrade and organic certification, which establishes a floor price of USD 2,000 per tonne of cocoa.
Farmers will earn a USD 500 premium over the market price because of their organic and Fairtrade certifications.
