Ocumare Farmers’ Cooperative

“Empowering the farmer, is a guarantee of fair trade”.

Thanks to cultural ties, proximity and know-how, Arvicacao has managed to organise the farmers in the area into cooperatives.

We join forces to place Ocumare cocoa in the best bakeries in the world.

We provide technical advice, logistical and financial support to different cocoa-producing families.

Centro de beneficio y transformación del cacao, Merida

Guaranteed traceability, sustainable production and ethical trade are our values.

The different farming families in the Mérida sector, in the south of the lake, take their freshly harvested cocoa to our processing centre located in the municipalities of Tulio Febres Cordero and Alberto Adriani, Mérida state.

Las Bromelias Production Centre

Se trata de una finca vecina de La Primogénita. Su cacao está certificado como único en el mundo.

Su material genético es un conglomerado de mezclas de cacaos criollos, dado por un proceso natural de polinización.

Esta finca se encuentra rodeada de una planta epifita llamada Bromelia, en cuya flor se reproduce un insecto del tamaño de una mota de polvo, encargado de generar tan maravilloso mecanismo natural de mestura.
